It's been one year since we fully electrified our home and documented the process.

I'm proof that a fully electric home is not only possible in Chicago, but it improves our health and comfort while saving us $$

The 2024 budget proposes to disband the Department of Assets, Information and Services into the new Department of Technology and Innovation & the Department of Fleet and Facility Management, which existed before. "This is long overdue," Johnson says.

As of May 2023, at least 1.62mw of operating solar capacity have been installed in the State of Illinois For comparison, Prairie State, the State’s largest coal plant, is 1.63mw, illustrating just how far we've come in a few years, but still how far we have to go #cejaworks
