Guests Alan Medsker and Madison Hilly: The law schould be changed to allow expansion of clean nuclear power in Illinois.
Regarding his guest piece in the Jan. 24 Daily Herald, we agree with Eliot Clay on the importance of ensuring clean, affordable and reliable power in Illinois regardless of weather conditions. Fortunately for the state, Illinois is ahead of the game thanks to its fleet of nuclear power plants.
Less than a year later, Russia's invasion of Ukraine kicked off a global energy crisis. While electricity bills across most of America climbed, Chicago and the suburbs saw their bills go down. Rather than cost residents money, the state's nuclear policy began saving families around $240 a year -- a $1 billion rebate from the nuclear plants back to customers.

This would preserve jobs and revenue in Illinois's existing energy communities. It would also make certain that the replacement energy is reliable in addition to being carbon-free. A rare win-win.
Back in 1987 when Illinois's nuclear moratorium was passed, carbon was irrelevant to environmentalists. Nearly 40 years later, we understand the need for clean and reliable nuclear powering our state regardless of time of day or season.
