Electricity

Let's not panic, but you need to know that an incoming solar storm may cause power grid issues in both Missouri and Illinois according to a bulletin from NOAA's Space Weather experts.

If you thought you were seeing a lot more California license plates on moving trucks entering Illinois, just wait. Thanks to a new change to how electric bills are figured in California, the exodus from the Golden State to the Land of Lincoln will only increase more.

Paint me skeptical. A new report claims that Missouri and other states are 'running out of power' and that rolling blackouts are inevitable. I've done some digging into data and the idea isn't as crazy as you might think.

Don't believe everything you read. That is a strange way to start an article that I really do hope you'll read because it involves a very serious subject. Did you know there are major power outages that have just been forecast for states like Missouri in 2024, but I have so many questions.

I'm not sure if this fact is reassuring or if it makes me want to build a home miles underground where it's safer. But, there's no questioning that Illinois produces more nuclear power than any other state and there isn't really even a close second.

Does living in an all-seasons state, like Illinois or Wisconsin, make a difference in our electric bills? Let's talk about it!

There was an era when Illinois had a method of transportation unlike any before or after it. It was the electric railroad and there's a vintage video showing what this railroad was like in action.

it happens every month, we get a bill from ComEd and my wife and I look on in amazement.
