Ohioans Overwhelmingly Want Clean Energy, State to Lead

EDF statement from Dick Munson, Director, Midwest Clean Energy

(OHIO – September 9, 2015) Ohio Energy Future Tour today released a report on the findings from six statewide forums, which were open and free to the public and designed to ignite conversation about how Ohio can move forward in the new clean energy economy. The report outlines policy recommendations and five goals that can pave the way for a 21st century energy system in Ohio.

“This new report shows how much Ohioans crave a new clean energy vision – one that will create thousands of jobs and bring millions of investment dollars to the state,” said Dick Munson, Director, Midwest Clean Energy. “It’s time Ohio’s leaders recognize that prioritizing clean energy means building a better future for the state’s people, businesses, and environment.”
