The Ohio House of Representatives voted, 53-43, today in favor of House Bill 6, an energy bill that will require Ohio’s nearly 5 million electric customers to pay new fees that will be used to subsidize two aging nuclear power plants and two coal-fired plants, including one in Indiana.
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine issued the following statement following today's Ohio House of Representatives passage of House Bill 6:

“I want to thank Speaker Householder for taking on this major, bipartisan legislative effort regarding Ohio’s energy policy. I know this issue is difficult because there are so many Ohioans affected and so many parties interested in the outcome, and I support Speaker Householder and House leadership moving this discussion forward.

“As I have previously stated, Ohio needs to maintain carbon-free nuclear energy generation as part of our energy portfolio. In addition, these energy jobs are vital to Ohio’s economy. I look forward to this legislative discussion continuing in the Ohio Senate.”
