Northwestern University and Clearway Energy Group just announced that Northwestern has signed up for 11.9 megawatts (MW) of Clearway’s community solar projects in Illinois, the equivalent of taking 2,934 cars off the road each year.

 

Northwestern’s long-term commitment will support the development and construction of Clearway’s community solar projects in Illinois. The agreement also represents a significant step towards bringing green jobs and clean, renewable energy to Illinois. Learn more here.

You’re right to worry about the air pollution and energy waste caused by conventional indoor fireplaces. (An open fireplace can draw as much as 300 cubic feet of heated room air up the chimney every minute.) But good options exist!
Wood burning fireplace inserts are energy-efficient, cause far less air pollution and reduce the amount of wood needed. These attractive inserts also let you enjoy your fireplace more knowing you are doing less harm to the environment. (Hint: an insert would make a great family holiday gift!)
Learn more about wood burning fireplace inserts from a local business that installs them here. Popular brands include Lopi, Regency and Vermont Castings. Other fireplace options are explained here.
Start planning now as there is high demand and some supply chain related delays.
