Negotiations on the Comprehensive Clean Energy Legislation have stalled in the Illinois General Assembly.
the biggest sticking point is the timeline for reducing carbon emissions and closing coal plants, specifically facilities in Marissa and Springfield.
Senator Bill Cunningham is working on the plan and says there are two proposals on the table.
“Either one of them if they become law would make Illinois a leader in this country on decarbonization. Arguably the leader in decarbonization. Either proposal would do that,” said Cunningham.
But Cunningham says while the two sides are not too far apart, they disagree enough that talks are at a standstill on that issue.
