Letter to the Editor: Wind, Solar Supplement Fossil Fuels

published by Cheryl Grossman on Fri, 04/04/2014 - 23:57

Letter to the Editor
Columbus Dispatch
April 4, 2014

In his Saturday letter “Energy mandates should be reviewed,” Sam Randazzo of Industrial Energy Users-Ohio made a lot of
claims about how bad the energy-efficiency targets are that the Ohio legislature enacted in 2008. Most of his claims were
untrue.

We must do something to decrease our oil and gas usage. Yes, there is a boom now, but how long will that last and what is the
cost?

In addition, Congressional Representatives are being elected and replacing Steve Stivers with Scott Wharton is a priority. Finally, we have county offices like Franklin County Commissioner and Franklin County Auditor and local judgeships.
