UpGrade Ohio

Wasted energy is the biggest energy user in the world! Let's keep progress moving.

Last week we hosted the Appalachian Ohio #EV Readiness Forum at @ohiou Innovation Center. Folks are ready to move on @AEPOhio's incoming Electric Vehicle (EV) rebate program.

Growing Local Solar kicking off at @DenisonU with @OhioEnviro & @GreenEnergyOH leading the way.

Thanks to a reduction in solar power incentives from China, the global market is flooded with affordable solar panel modules. Trump's #solartariffs are now null and void. reuters.com/article/us-sunpo…

Did you know a @NatDriveElecWk event will be in Albany, OH at @HockingCollege's Lake Snowden? At the "#EV Showcase" @PawpawFest-goers can explore, feel, and experience the latest and greatest electric vehicles (EVs) in the broader SE #Ohio community. driveelectricweek.org/event.…

Move over, polar bears: Climate change has a new symbol #Weather grist.org/article/move-over-… via @grist

What if every #Ohio community used aggregation to add a small carbon fee to the price of their electricity? What if those fees were used to install #solar on public buildings? How much would you be willing to pay to help solar grow in your community? bit.ly/OHcarbonfee

Climate change is important. Clean energy is part of the solution. This is why we support climate action to help stop the steady increase of carbon dioxide in the global atmosphere. bit.ly/2m0OVAk

Support rural #solar. Urge your representatives to maintain the REAP program. bit.ly/2JVJOeO solarunitedneighbors.org/get…

A tweet 4 our #Ohio farm friends @OhioEggFarmers: We still have free #solar assessment $$$ in 8 counties 2 use by 7/1/ - bit.ly/2xqcBXi

From @ohiodotcom: "Ohio needs a certain commitment to clean energy" -- We agree! Strong standards for efficiency and renewables will bring $$$, a cleaner environment, and more jobs. Other states are thriving with standards, so why would Ohio change? bit.ly/2sOpwgS

Time to move past the debate over clean energy standards once and for all. Focus on fixing OH’s restrictive wind setback law. Say YES to wind development and NO to HB 114 #OHCleanEnergy @HoaglandForOhio @OhioSenateGOP @OhioSenateDems

From @EDFEnergyEX: NEW REPORT: #PoweringOhio outlines a vision for energy competitiveness and $25 billion in economic development. Join the conversation with @SynapseEnergy poweringohio.org

Today we're am asking @HoaglandForOhio to support fixing Ohio’s restrictive #wind setback law. We are leaving $4.2 billion in local wind development projects on the table and turning our backs on the #jobs they would produce. #OHWind #YouCanFixIt
