Stumbling Fumbling Lawmakers

Ohio's political leadership claims that good jobs are priority one. Yet through ignorant and craven lawmaking they have stepped on their own lines in one important sector. In addition to the repeal of alternate energy standards, the inhibiting setback requirement can be added. Result: (From the Columbus Dispatch) “Amazon wants renewable energy to power its data centers planned for central Ohio, so the company is helping to build a wind farm — in North Carolina.
Clean-energy advocates say Ohio runs the risk of getting bypassed for big projects because of new setback limits passed last year by the Ohio General Assembly. The rules reduce the number of wind turbines that can be placed in most projects.”
