May 13-19, 2021 | Illinois Times | 11 FEATURE don’t generate earth-warming carbon. The risk, the thinking goes, is worth it: People already are dying from fossil-fuel pollution. David Kraft, director of Nuclear Energy Information Service, remains a hard-liner 40 years after the Chicago-based nonprofit was founded in hopes of shutting down nuclear plants. Under no circumstances, Kraft says, should nuclear energy be countenanced. He acknowledges feeling a bit like a dinosaur in a fossil-fuel age. “Quite frankly, we are outliers, even within the environmental community – we’re not well-received among our brethren, our town folk,” he says. Illinois, also, is an outlier, one of two blue states with legislatures and governor’s mansions controlled by Democrats – there are 15 – that hasn’t passed legislation aimed at establishing power generation that is fully renewable. While Biden has established a goal of making electrical generation in America carbon-free by 2035, Gov. JB Pritzker is pushing to do the same by 2050. In the private sector, companies ranging from Volvo to Starbucks to Amazon have vowed to end carbon emissions. Setting destinations can be easier than reaching them. In Seattle, which six years ago established a goal of more than halving carbon emissions by 2030, the city’s Office Protesters and reporters outside a federal courthouse in Ohio surround a vehicle occupied by John Householder, former speaker of the Ohio House of Representatives, of Sustainability and Environment in 2019 who's been charged in an alleged $60 million bribery scheme involving an Exelon subsidiary.

20 | www.illinoistimes.com | May 13-19, 2021 Springfield Area Festivals | Watch me throw this 20-foot tree Highland Games and Celtic Festival It is said that heavy athletic competitions similar to those Saturday, May 15 practiced in Highland games originated in ancient Ireland. 8 a.m.-10 p.m. Sometime in the fourth or fifth century the games jumped over the th Sangamon County water to Scotland, where the tradition endured. By the 11 century, if Fairgrounds you wanted to prove that you had what it took to be a soldier or 316 W. Birch St. courier in Scotland, you had to do things such as correctly toss a caber New Berlin (a large, tapered pole usually made from a Larch tree), throw a 56 lb. 217-204-4028 weight over a raised bar that is lifted higher with each successful $8-$15 attempt, and show your ability to play well with others by participating in a tug-of-war on a team of eight. Today’s Highland games are an interesting mix of sporting, cultural and social components. On Saturday, St. Andrew’s Society of Central Illinois, a nonprofit organization dedicated to keeping Celtic traditions alive, is hosting the games and festival at the county fairgrounds. In addition to those awe- inspiring feats of strength and might, the event will feature bagpipe bands, food, Scottish and Irish dance performances, a British car show, Scotch tasting, clan information and other Celtic cultural exhibitions. Tickets are limited and can only be purchased online. Visit centralillinoiscelts.com for more information.
