Why are Ohio lawmakers trying to kill renewable-energy innovation and jobs?
Ohio used to be in the vanguard of technological innovation! Now Senate Bill 52 and House Bills 201, 192 and 127 promote the expansion of fossil fuels while actively decreasing opportunities for renewable-energy technologies. This, at a time when voter polls indicate Ohioans want more renewable energy. This is shortsighted and lacks economic leadership in the long run. Most Ohioans and many municipalities have adopted behaviors that benefit the environment and diminish climate change. I live in a net-zero 100% solar house without other sources of energy and have spoken about solar building to many interested groups. My house produces twice the energy I use, even though it is located in Northeast Ohio. Jacqueline M. Samuel,  Burton
