House vote nukes green energy mandates

House Bill 6, which provides money to bail out nuclear and coal plants and guts green energy mandates on power companies, passed the Ohio House today (May 29) on a 53-43 vote.

Haraz Ghanbari (R-Perrysburg) who represents Wood County voted in favor. He was a co-sponsor of the bill.

At the Bowling Green Chamber of Commerce’s legislative update on Friday, Bowling Green Mayor Richard Edwards said the bill would cost the city $400,000 in lost subsidies for its green energy initiatives.
