Oil Companies Are Collapsing, but Wind and Solar Energy Keep Growing
Despite delays and layoffs triggered by the coronavirus, the renewable energy sector is doing well. Wind and solar usage has increased and is forecasted to continue growing. 2020 is on track to breaking even more records within this sector. Projections at this rate show that 20% of all US electricity by 2030 will be solar generated; driving billions into the US economy while offsetting 35% of all electricity emissions.
Along with the utilization of other green energy sources, we will see lower bills and great environmental and health benefits. With constant changes, there will be adjustments in government policies and regulations. Hopefully we can ensure these will benefit all areas and people from various incomes and backgrounds.

Coronavirus And Slumping Prices Hit Ohio Valley’s Oil & Gas Sector
The entire world has been adjusting during the coronavirus outbreak. Many companies that contribute greatly to the economy are facing challenges to stay in business. The changes in energy demand have led to the sector taking a huge hit with oil and natural gas prices dropping drastically. Construction has been put on hold, jobs have been altered, and the extent of damages done by this pandemic is still a shifting status. Oil and gas producers may seek a bailout and lawmakers are being asked to alter the Jones Act to ease requirements.
Utilities have been suspending their disconnection policies and are ensuring they prioritize safety to stop the spread of the virus. The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) is requiring this of the entire state. The impact of this virus is affecting everyone in various ways and PUCO is prioritizing that their residents will not go without shelter, water, food, heat, and communication. We commend all essential workers that are putting their lives at risk to ensure citizens are safe and receiving more than just the necessities of life.

Illinois legislation promises a renewable energy revolution. But who would pay?
Isn’t that the age-old question? Who will pay? Perhaps it’s the actual cost, the time or the impact to our environment that will be paying the price.
Illinois has two pieces of legislation that could alter the energy, environment, and economics of the state.
These two bills differ in supporting how to obtain more renewables as both want to increase the current goal to 100% renewable by 2030.
- The Clean Energy Jobs Act (CEJA) largely builds on the 2017 Future Energy Jobs Act that caused a solar installation rush. The CEJA would expand incentives for training and jobs while constructing more solar. They are supported by environmental and community groups.
- The Path to 100 is supported by the renewables industry and would accelerate the goal of 100% clean energy in Illinois.
How it gets paid: essentially by changing how the capacity market procures the energy Illinois needs.
Both bills would encourage the move toward lower priced solar while minimizing the disruption to oil, gas, and nuclear.
The debate is in the right place. Solar energy is the cheaper cost and causes less impact to the environment. Creating incentives now to capitalize growth and allow transition into this less costly energy source will setup Illinois for the future.
