The manager of the Illinois energy grid is warning of widespread brownouts at points this summer and a central Illinois lawmaker is very concerned about the situation.

State Senator Chapin Rose says the progressive left's efforts to go all green is leaving Illinois without enough energy to supply the entire state with the energy necessary to navigate the summer energy demand.

According to Sen. Rose, at the very minimum, the price of energy is going up but he fears because renewable energy cannot keep up with the demand, there could be brownouts this summer.

The Mahomet Republican says this is not going to be an easy fix to make the situation right. He explains there are a lot of federal regulations if they want to fire up coal plants again but also he says this is an issue the elites among the progressive left do not care about.

Sen. Rose says renewable energy simply is not ready to be the main supply of energy in America today. He says the person causing this is Gov. JB Pritzker and the bills he's passing.
