"We can build our way to energy abundance and lower prices, but only if policymakers stop blocking the most cost-effective solutions available. Until then, families will continue paying the price for this self-inflicted energy emergency."

Ohio lawmakers just passed SB 293. It started as an absentee ballot restriction, got worse when they added SB 153's harshest provisions, and now it's headed to the governor's desk. Call Gov. DeWine - demand a VETO. https://bit.ly/3X3eh1Y

For the first time ever, a county's renewable energy ban is going to the voters. Richland County residents collected over 4,300 signatures in just 30 days to put this on the ballot. "So now it goes to a countywide vote...instead of three guys." This is people power.

When the grid is stressed and demand peaks, someone has to cut back. Right now, that burden falls on families and businesses. Consumer advocates say data centers—using as much power as small cities—should be first in line for cutoffs until they bring their own supply. https://bit.ly/48fuAPv

🙄 ALEC is at it again—pushing fossil fuel-friendly "grid stability" bills across the country to block clean energy. Great reporting from the Center For Media and Democracy exposing how these bills disguise fossil fuel handouts as "reliability" measures. https://bit.ly/43qlqgn

💡 Remember HB6? The corruption scandal that put Ohio families on the hook for outdated coal plants? This year, we ended another major piece of that scandal. House Bill 15 repealed the OVEC coal bailout—and it happened because Ohioans refused to stay silent. https://www.ohiocitizen.org/donate

Our Volunteer Coordinator Linda experienced firsthand how Ohio's voting system can fail even experienced voters. Despite updating her registration multiple times, outdated records nearly prevented her from voting last Tuesday. SB 153 would create more barriers for Ohio voters. https://bit.ly/4nSNmk9
