Illinois has a lofty target of using only clean energy by 2050. But is that goal realistic? We have a good head start.

On this episode, we talk about Illinois and environment. What are we doing well and where are we falling short.

Host Sean Crawford is joined by Professor Emeritus Charlie Wheeler and Juanpablo Ramirez-Franco, climate change reporter for WBEZ and Grist.

The former director of the Public Affairs Reporting (PAR) graduate program is Professor Charles N. Wheeler III, a veteran newsman who came to the University of Illinois at Springfield following a 24-year career at the Chicago Sun-Times.
