Yet another nuclear front group pretending that nuclear is “clean”- Ohio Clean Energy Jobs Alliance

Perry forum will focus on group’s efforts to save Ohio’s nuclear power plants, News-Herald, By Bill DeBus bdebus@news-herald.com @bdebusnh on Twitter 28 Oct 18 A public forum will be held on Jan. 14 in Perry Village to highlight the efforts a statewide group that’s working to keep Ohio’s two nuclear power plants open.The Ohio Clean Energy Jobs Alliance is seeking a public policy solution that will save the Perry Nuclear Power Plant in North Perry Village and the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station in Oak Harbor Village, about 25 miles east of Toledo. Both plants, owned by FirstEnergy, are slated to close by 2021………

Discussions about the fate of the Perry Nuclear Power Plant have intensified since March 28, when FirstEnergy Solutions announced it would close three of its nuclear power plants, including Perry and Davis-Besse. In recent years, the plants have struggled to compete with the cheaper cost of natural gas.

Three days after announcing the nuclear plant closings, FirstEnergy Solutions and FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Co. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

Earlier this month, the Ohio Clean Energy Jobs Alliance formed. The group stated that it will engage legislators, policymakers and the public to emphasize the employment, economic, environmental and grid reliability benefits provided by the state’s two nuclear power facilities.

“We are here to urge our elected leaders to take the necessary steps to save the Davis-Besse and Perry nuclear power stations,”…..https://www.news-herald.com/news/lake-county/perry-forum-will-focus-on-group-s-efforts-to-save/article_84d0a3d4-d6e9-11e8-839a-bf10b844131f.html
