COLUMBUS — “A bill to freeze Ohio’s renewable and energy efficiency standards could be introduced as soon as this week, but it’s unclear if Gov. John Kasich would sign it.
Kasich made clear his discontent when a legislative committee recommended indefinitely freezing the state’s renewable and energy efficiency standards, calling it “ unacceptable.” He reiterated the sentiment on the presidential campaign trail.
Now a new bill, introduced by Sen. Bill Seitz, is set to come in the wake of the Energy Mandates Study Committee’s indefinite-freeze recommendation. As a sort of compromise, the bill gives a three-year concrete end date for the freeze.”
