One year later, Illinois energy jobs law bearing fruit
What creates electricity and jobs? Solar Energy!
A new community solar plant will be generating enough energy to power 400 homes in Tazewell County. Building and maintaining the solar plant required about 30 jobs. The solar plant and the jobs were the result of Illinois’ Future Energy Jobs Act. Any community in the state can do the same due to the legislation which Sen. Dave Koehler, D-Peoria helped pass.
Realgy owns and operates 6 solar plants in Illinois and is looking to invest in additional locations.

Who Should Pay For Electric Vehicle Chargers? Who Should Profit?
Electric vehicles are becoming a viable option. One issue holding back broader acceptance is charging. States, utilities and utility regulators are trying to address the need to provide charging stations. Such innovations include:
- California is moving toward allowing utilities to invest in the transmission/distribution and own the charging stations
- Massachusetts is allowing utilities to invest in the infrastructure but leave the charging stations to others
- Texas allows ONLY utilities to own and operate charging stations
- Missouri is considering a request to allow utilities to build and own charging stations
- Kentucky is allowing utilities to build and own charging stations BUT only charges customers who use them
Utilities are monopolies. This allows them to charge all their customers for a charging station (that few will ever use), will not allow competition and will most likely stifle the electric vehicle industry. Allowing utilities to build out the infrastructure to which an entity can provide the charging station seems likely to win the day.
