OH Bill Would Force Siting Board to Favor NatGas Over Renewables

Proposed Ohio legislation, Senate Bill (SB) 294, seeks to redefine "clean energy" to include natural gas, a fossil fuel, and, according to lefties, a major contributor to mythical global warming. At the same time, the bill would declare renewable sources like wind and solar "unreliable." SB 294 would compel the Ohio Power Siting Board to favor energy projects it deems both clean and reliable, effectively prioritizing natural gas power plants. The bill's sponsors argue this leverages Ohio's substantial shale gas reserves and provides a cleaner alternative to coal.
