The @PUCOhio should provide a live stream + recordings of next month's hearings in the commission's House Bill 6 cases. Public deserves to see FirstEnergy's former executives + lobbyists testify about the impacts of the utility's corruption on ratepayers

Utilities and legislators must stand up for consumers and demand reform rather than allowing PJM’s disinformation to dominate the conversation. Renewable energy products and demand response programs must be part of the solution. https://t.co/nnFT3mc0QX

PJM should take responsibility for its part in Ohio's power shortfalls and soaring prices. Instead, it spreads misinformation.

This isn’t about partisan politics. Preserving clean energy tax credits will protect the progress we’ve made, keeping household energy costs in check, and ensuring that Ohio leads in industries of the future. @SolarNeighbors

Seems like a pretty reasonable request of @PUCOhio to me given the circumstances.
The @PUCOhio should provide a live stream + recordings of next month's hearings in the commission's House Bill 6 cases. Public deserves to see FirstEnergy's former executives + lobbyists testify about the impacts of the utility's corruption on ratepayers

Thanks to Reps. Humphrey and Brewer and Sens. Blessing and Ingram for never giving up on putting Ohioans with debt-related suspensions back on the road. This will be life-changing for so many. @latynamhumphrey

Ohioans who have been shouldering the burden of debt-related driver’s license suspensions will soon be able to return to the road, as HB 29 goes into effect. Beginning today, person’s ability to pay a fine or fee will no longer determine whether they are free to drive in Ohio!

The Wooly Pig Farm Brewery is on the hook for $292,000, half of which was to have been covered by a federal grant, and it is bracing for higher costs because of President Trump’s proposed tariffs.

“Look, we’re frustrated, right?” said Mike Foley, Cuyahoga Green Energy, a public microgrid and renewable energy utility in Cuyahoga County. “These were hard grants to get. We want to move forward with them and do the work.” https://t.co/cr3dDsNfRf
