Lots of big money lining up against this......always makes me suspicious. What is other Buckeye's take on it?

Coal is good.
One provision allows for a public referendum on wind-energy projects, even after the developer completes the state’s rigorous permitting and approval process.

God forbid letting the citizens of Ohio have a say. Unaccountable bureaucrats should be the ones who determine what goes in Ohio.

I’ve been carrying the torch for this bill in my local paper, the only one usually. We should be shooting for redundant energy sources, not cutting off our nose to spite our face. Closing down these nuclear power plants is not an option, if on national security grounds alone if no other.
One has only to have lived under the Ohio EPA’s Echeck for automobiles to see how changing requirements can have major effects and unbelievable cost for the average joe trying to make ends meet. Ohio farmland is being bought up by the tens of thousands of acres by foreigners to build some of these wind farms.
This is a BS propaganda article from the natural gas boys. Who wrote and passed the mandate of 8% renewable energy requirement at a time when we are no longer producing 100% of our state’s energy needs. Follow the money trail on that one.
One, the writer is a worker in the so called “clean energy” movement.
Two, she keeps repeating that coal and nuclear cannot compete economically and that government bailouts are bad. Skipping over how much money the clean industry gets from government, she misses the glaring hipocrasy. Coal and nuclear financial problems are caused precisely BY government. In that light it makes perfect sense for government to undo some of their damage they caused those industries.
And by the way, without Ohio coal mining facing people like Hillary, we wouldn’t have a President Trump.
OHIO PING!
Please let me know if you want on or off the Ohio Ping list.

Natural gas undersells their competitors until they run them out of business. Ohio has gone out of its way to run coal plants out with little regard for real health impacts from these plants.
