A revised Senate Bill 310 has passed the Ohio House this week, and Governor John Kasich is planning to sign it into legislation. The Bill was revised after the original draft, that passed the Ohio Senate, was considered highly controversial.

The Senate approved minor changes made to the Bill by the Ohio House. Those who opposed the original Bill had hoped that Governor Kasich would veto it. In short, the Bill will place a “freeze” on “green” energy standards. It would also end the requirement that utilities purchase at least half of their renewable energy from within Ohio.

The revised Bill still has many people on both sides of the issue unhappy. Government officials and businesses alike are split on the direction Ohio needs to take. Some say the standards are too costly, while others believe reducing them will cost Ohioans jobs and increase air pollution.

Frog Hauling is an environmentally friendly company that cares strongly about Ohio. It is our hope that a mutually agreeable policy will be enacted that can both boost Ohio job growth while still protecting the environment.
