Pew’s Grid Fix for PA & OH: Same Old Wind & Solar Subsidies

The Pew Charitable Trusts has issued a press release and two Pew-funded studies claiming Ohio and Pennsylvania could "unlock" up to 37.5 gigawatts (GW) of new electricity quickly and cheaply by piggybacking on the grid connections of existing power plants. Sounds great, right? Read the fine print. Every one of those 37.5 GW is solar, wind, or batteries, much of it parked at gas-fired power plants. And bolted onto the back of both studies is a Democrat policy wish list: mandates, set-asides, subsidy multipliers and an override of local control. Same old playbook, new name. We're calling it out.
