How we write these
- The answer comes first, in two or three sentences. The explanation follows.
- Every number links to where it came from. If we cannot source it, we do not print it.
- Illinois and ComEd specifics, not national averages.
- A named author and a "Last reviewed" date on each one.
- A next step at the end, never a hard sell.
