COLUMBUS — “While Ohioans’ support for clean energy is at an all-time high, State Senator Bill Seitz introduced legislation today that would thwart clean energy progress in Ohio. Senate Bill 320 proposes to extend the freeze on Ohio’s clean energy standards until 2020, which would weaken Ohioans’ ability to install rooftop solar, erode clean energy technology manufacturers’ competitiveness, and undermine the state’s ability to take action to reduce harmful pollution from the power sector.
…“Consumers are getting another bad deal with this bill. Extending the freeze is a targeted move against consumers and businesses that Ohio just can’t afford, ” said Rachael Belz, Executive Director, Ohio Citizen Action. ”
