How Illinois passed its third big clean-energy bill in a decade

Why is a deregulated state like Illinois suddenly embracing
central planning? In this episode, I talk with Kady McFadden and
John Delurey about the state’s decision to empower its utility
commission to directly procure clean energy. We discuss why
capacity markets are too slow for the current environment and
their strategy of aggressively framing renewables and storage not
just as green, but as the only “fast and cheap” way to protect
ratepayers from price spikes.
