FILE - In this March 16, 2011 file photo, steam escapes from Exelon Corp.'s nuclear plant in Byron, Ill. Illinois lawmakers are considering clean-energy legislation backed by Exelon Corp. to keep three unprofitable nuclear plants afloat. The idea proposed Thursday, Feb. 26, 2015 would require utilities to reward producers of low-carbon power for being environmentally friendly. That would include wind, solar, water and clean-burning coal as well as nuclear. Labor and political leaders say it would help Exelon keep open nuclear plants in the Quad Cities, Byron and Clinton.
