We are all adding to global warming when we use electricity, whenever that electricity is generated from fossil fuels. This does not mean that we, or the people of Illinois, should stop using electricity, although there are mreasures we can take to reduce our usage. What Illinois can do is to move away from using coal and oil to generate electricity and towards using renewable resourcesuch as wind, solar and geothermal resources.
