Mixed reviews for latest talks on Illinois budget standoff
Springfield leaders gave mixed reviews after talks with Gov. Rauner aimed at ending Illinois budget stalemate now nearing a year. Republicans pressed for pro business and workers' comp reform in exchange for a tax increase, while Speaker Madigan warned the governor’s agenda hurts the middle class and urged full-year budget solutions. A House vote on a $397 million tuition grant bill followed, testing Rauner's commitment to a broader, lasting budget deal before adjournment.

Power plant emissions fall to decades-low level

Emissions peaked in 2007 at 2.4 billion metric tons and declined to about 2.05 billion by 2014 as generation shifts from coal to natural gas and renewables.

Self driving big rigs eyed for US highways
San Francisco startup Otto aims to put autonomous 18 wheelers on interstates with software sensors lasers and cameras. Co founder Anthony Lewandowski plus Lior Ron Don Burnette and Claire Delaunay plan self driving trucks that can travel 220000 miles of US highways while a human handles tougher city driving. Experts caution that full automation may take decades to reach the level of reliability needed for widespread use.
