OH Senate Unanimously Passes Bill to Overturn Nuke Bailout Law

| | | |

There is finally movement in Ohio to repeal an odious law passed by Ohio’s Republican-controlled legislature called House Bill 6, which funnels over $1 billion from Ohio ratepayers to FirstEnergy Corporation in order to keep the company’s unprofitable nuclear power plants running (while disadvantaging other power sources, like gas-fired plants). FirstEnergy is accused of bribing legislators to pass, and keep passed, HB 6 by paying out $60 million in bribes (see FirstEnergy Involved in Bribery Scheme to Pass $1B Nuke Bailout Law).
