- Ohio has blocked a lot of wind and solar. Its residents pay the price.
Ohio has blocked over 5.3 gigawatts of solar and wind projects in the past 12 years, including the 800-megawatt Oak Run Solar Project, leading to higher electricity prices and missed opportunities to reduce emissions. State laws and court decisions, such as a 2014 wind turbine setback rule and Senate Bill 52, have restricted renewable energy development while allowing fossil fuel and nuclear projects.
