Editorial: Is nuclear power good for Illinois?
Within the U.Okay., which for the reason that Nineties has lowered its reliance on nuclear energy, a key aim is to roll out a brand new era of smaller, cheaper reactors.

Illinois passes bill to phase out fluorescent lighting
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WIFR) – The Illinois state Senate passed the Clean Lighting Act Friday to phase out the use of fluorescent lighting.
If Gov. JB Pritzker signs the bill, LED lightbulbs will replace fluorescence lighting.
According to an analysis by the Appliance Standards Awareness Project, the new bulbs will save Illinois consumers more than $1.5 billion on utility bills, avoid more than 2 million metric tons of C02 emissions by energy waste and prevent over 400 pounds of mercury pollution by 2050.
Illinois becomes the tenth state to pass clean lighting policies.
