Top of nuclear plant with lots of white smoke coming out

From the Sierra Club Beyond Coal:  Nearly 300 of you have made calls, and more than 1,400 messages have been sent to Ohio State Representatives to oppose the nuclear bailout bill (HB 6) but the bill is still alive!  We need to keep the momentum going. Call your state representatives to oppose the nuclear bailout bill. Here's the message: The nuclear bailout bill-HB6 is moving in the OH Statehouse. If it's not stopped, we'll pay hundreds of millions a year for these uneconomic plants! Call your state rep. at 1-512-562-9139 to stop the nuclear bailout bill! #NoOnHB6 #NoNukeBailoutTax #OhiosEnergyFuture.  

This bill is a blatant attempt to put corporate profits before the needs of Ohio residents. HB6 proposes an additional fee to our electric bills to collect $300 million from Ohio residents to help prop-up FirstEnergy's uneconomic nuclear plants, while also cutting support for energy efficiency.   Ohio legislators need to get the message that Ohioans are tired of attempts to put the needs of utility companies before the well-being of Ohio electricity customers. Make sure Rep.Kent get the message that Ohioans oppose the nuclear bailout bill.  Spread the word on Facebook and Twitter today!
