ACORE Statement on Passage of H.B. 6 in Ohio

Statement from Gregory Wetstone, President and CEO of the American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE)

“At a time when the nation is accelerating its transition to affordable, pollution-free renewable power, this legislation goes in precisely the wrong direction with a bailout of aging and uneconomic coal and nuclear plants, and a weakening of the state’s Renewable Portfolio Standard. On behalf of our hundreds of member companies, we urge Governor DeWine to veto this bill and support the $11 billion in economic opportunity that renewable power presents for the state of Ohio.”
