It is no secret that the change in administrations in Washington has brought a major shift in federal environmental policies. President Donald Trump has made clear his intention to roll back key initiatives enacted during the Obama Administration that tackled climate change and promoted clean energy.
Fortunately, in Illinois, we are seeing a much different approach to these issues from both our executive and legislative leaders, who recognize that action to promote clean energy represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to boost our state’s economy.
