Solar energy developers want to spend millions of dollars investing in Ohio, but the state won't let them. Now, lawmakers are trying to challenge the anti-solar narrative.
Ohio has become a hot spot for green energy developers, with nearly 10 solar applications pending. Although these companies want to invest multi-millions, they can be blocked in just one meeting.
"If we're going to do this, there's going to have to be more effective partnerships and more voice and more discussion and input on how these happen," Dale Arnold with the Ohio Farm Bureau said.Other farmers argue the project will only impact their land, perhaps using solar to save the family farm for generations, Spence responded.
Arnold isn't anti-solar and acknowledges the benefits the energy source can provide. However, many farmers and citizens in rural areas are adamantly against it. Republican state Reps. Jim Hoops and Sharon Ray introduced House Bill 197, joined by another colleague and representatives across the aisle.
The community solar pilot program would account for roughly 3% of Ohio’s overall generation, he added. RELATED: Ohio lawmakers going over House Speaker’s head to repeal coal plant subsidies in corruption-linked HB 6
