Where is Governor John Kasich on this issue?
Of course in the end, Ohio’s electric energy consumers will pay higher rates as other energy prices rise or to cover the costs of decommissioning the nuke plants. Pick your poison.
He will not take a stance other than to oppose ZEN credits
This article paints an significantly different picture:
http://www.crainscleveland.com/article/20170402/NEWS/170409987/firstenergy-makes-big-push-for-zero-emission-credits
“The cost of supporting some of the region’s aging nuclear power plants might be about to land on the bills of Ohio ratepayers, and that might include the cost of subsidizing a nuclear plant in Pennsylvania owed by Akron-based FirstEnergy Corp.
The firm is desperately hoping that Ohio legislators will take action this year to help it either maintain or sell off its nuclear fleet, which includes the Perry Nuclear Power Plant and the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station near Toledo, and a facility in Beaver County, Pennsylvania.”
It’s sad that “zero emissions” ignores the off-gassing of radioactive gases legally permitted. The OP ignores the existance of Fukushima and Hanford http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/washington-nuclear-tunnel-collapse-hanford-latest-news-updates-plutonium-plant-disaster-a7726866.html
