Democrats are facing criticism for their energy policies, particularly the "Green New Scam," which some argue is causing financial strain on Illinois residents and businesses. The transition to solar and wind projects has been cited as insufficient in replacing the energy output of coal-powered plants.

"The result of closing down coal plants in Illinois is going to be devastating," critics say. There are concerns that these changes will lead to significant increases in monthly energy bills, affecting families already burdened by high taxes.
