The Buckeye Institute issued a statement on the changes made to the policies in House Bill 114. “For years Ohio consumers have been able to voluntarily pay to receive their energy from renewable sources and they should be allowed to continue to choose whatever energy source best meets their needs. They do not need the government forcing them to pay higher energy bills to pay for a forced mandate. With House Bill 114, the Ohio House of Representatives had wisely shifted Ohio away from government imposed renewable energy mandates. Unfortunately, the Senate has reinstated them.”
