Action Item: Get Nuclear and Coal OUT of Ohio’s Energy Bill

Twenty-five states have passed energy bills mandating electric companies to generate a percentage of electricity from advanced energy—like efficiency, solar, and wind. Ohio’s energy bill, now being heard by the House, includes nuclear and coal as “advanced” energy! Ohio is the only state to define these outdated sources as “advanced”. We have a chance to turn this around!

Contact Speaker at 614-719-3591 and tell him we don’t want nuclear and coal in our energy bill. Contact your state representative also. Find your representative by your zip code. All can be written to at 77 S. High St., Columbus, OH 43215.
