Senator Tammy Duckworth met with local leaders and Monarch Energy Friday afternoon to discuss a proposed waste-to-energy facility in Rockford.
Duckworth met with Swedish and Dutch government leaders who pioneer the clean waste-to-energy technology. Her goal is to replicate the technology in Illinois. She is focused on bringing green energy practices and investments to Illinois because she says they will help create good-paying green jobs and improve environmental justice, reduce waste, expand energy supplies and strengthen businesses.
“We have the opportunity of turning our landfills into energy, into hydrogen power, into sustainable aviation fuel. That is going to make the earth better for our children and grandchildren and help us get rid of landfill waste and create hundreds and hundreds of good paying jobs,” Senator Duckworth says.
