Renewable Energy
Why should you choose to use renewable energy? Well, for one, these resources
will never run out, making prices stable. In addition, precious natural
resources will not be wasted. Surf our wind energy page to find out more about wind energy and local initiatives.
Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard
On July 19, 2005 the Illinois Commerce Commission adopted Governor
Blagojevich’s Sustainable Energy Plan. The plan, which calls for an 8%
Renewable Portfolio Standard to be met by 2013 and an Energy Efficiency
Standard to be met by 2015, will greatly increase the use of renewable energy
and energy efficiency.
Environmental Law and Policy Center
The Environmental Law and Policy Center (ELPC) is a Midwest public interest
environmental advocacy organization working to achieve cleaner energy resources
and implement sustainable energy strategies, promote innovative and efficient
transportation and land use approaches that produce cleaner air and more jobs,
and develop sound environmental management practices that conserve natural
resources and improve the quality of life in our communities.
