Patrick T. Fallon/Getty Images On Tuesday, the Illinois Senate has a chance to push a compromise clean energy bill over the finish line. It should get the job done for the planet’s sake. The Legislature has blown one chance after another over the last nearly three years to send a bill to the governor that would protect union jobs, provide equity in new green jobs, steer the state toward renewable energy and hold utilities to stricter ethical standards. Editorials If Illinois fumbles this last-moment chance in this legislative session, Exelon says it will start the process of closing down two Illinois nuclear power plants. That would complicate the state’s ability to transition to a carbon-free power sector. The plants are needed to provide zero-carbon energy until the state can ramp up renewable energy sources.
