A $1 billion transmission line is planned across western Ohio, and Ohio families could pay about $660 million of it through their electric bills. Sen. Jon Husted wants projects like this approved faster and harder to challenge. He calls local objections "junk lawsuits." bit.ly/4iWGB2b

🌞 Good news! 🌞 State lawmakers have spent years adding hurdles for solar that don't apply to fossil fuels, but Oak Run Solar just won its permit. The project pairs 800 MW of solar with 300 MW of battery storage, so clean energy is available even when the sun goes down. bit.ly/4xGfrQL

Ohio's data center tax break hit $1.5 billion last year. That is more than 10 times what state estimates originally projected. When a state undercuts its own tax base like this, the shortfall has to be made up somewhere, often through other taxes or reduced services on.wsj.com/4xOBs0P

New to Ohio? Better add a generator to your move-in list. This is what happens when the people in charge of energy policy keep denying clean energy projects instead of building the grid we actually need. Ohio needs a governor that will put ratepayers ahead of utility profits.
