The public is invited to join Bowling Green-area elected officials and leaders from Ohio’s largest consumer and advocacy communities as they gather at Wooster Green on Monday in opposition to legislative efforts at the Statehouse to impose a consumer-funded bailout of two FirstEnergy Solutions nuclear plants and two of the area’s coal plants.
House Bill 6 also repeals the state’s effective renewable energy and efficiency programs, potentially making Ohio the first state in the nation to consider gutting clean energy standards to fund coal and nuclear bailouts.
Bowling Green City Council members introduced and passed a resolution opposing House Bill 6 in early June. Following remarks by Bowling Green Mayor Dick Edwards and others, attendees will have the opportunity to offer brief testimony in response to House Bill 6 to be shared with decision-makers over social media.
The event will be held at 3:30 p.m., in Wooster Green at the corner of West Wooster and South Church streets.
