With Snow Storm Fern pommeling Columbus, I answered the call to plow during this Level 3 Snow Emergency. The @columbusdps.bsky.social Snow Warriors are heroes who are working tirelessly to clean our streets and make our critical infrastructure safe and it’s an honor to support them.

We generate 25% more waste over the holiday season. Help us by sending food scraps to a drop-off site, recycle all of your cardboard boxes in your blue bin, and bring your Christmas tree to one of the Waste and Reuse Convenience Centers or set it out for curbside yard waste collection.

Destroying our environment is not enough for these data centers—they are also dead set on breaking working families across our communities. www.wosu.org/politics-gov...
Columbus may see higher electric, gas and water costs caused by data center energy demands
If rate increases are approved, an average customer can expect to pay an extra $36 a month by 2027 if they use American Electric Power of Ohio, Columbia Gas of Ohio and Columbus Water.
