To commemorate the feeling of your first conference, we asked a few veteran CCLers to tell us about their first experience in D.C. Their answers far exceeded our expectations 🥹

Take a look at the video in our newest #blog:

Good morning with good news: The cost of adding 1 GW of solar fell from $3 billion in 2015 to $0.7 billion in 2025 reports the IEA!

The 80% fall in capital cost required to add 1 GW of solar led to a near ten-fold rise in annual capacity additions!

🔥 Toledo Blade Editorial: "Ohio law that impedes utility grade solar projects with foolish constraints that fossil fuel projects are spared from is foolish when solar power is the cheapest and fastest source of additional electric capacity available." https://t.co/tFhHsNQDJt

Ohio families are paying more for energy every year. Now FirstEnergy is proposing another rate increase on top of rising costs, grid reliability concerns, and a legislature that has blocked the cheapest energy sources available. https://t.co/xPOeZ2eI28

It was a good day at the CCL all-Ohio conference yesterday! At least 38 people representing 9 cities working for the future.

For many farmers, solar leases are the difference between keeping land in the family and being forced to sell. Local solar bans are taking that choice away. https://t.co/RdZAqakraI

Join us at the Hillclimber Solar public hearing in Champaign County on Wednesday, May 13 and make your voice heard. The Ohio Power Siting Board will be taking public testimony, and local voices matter enormously in these decisions. https://t.co/H3I2NwYEGD

Good news from Ohio!
- The city of Cincinnati broke ground on a 10-MW solar project which will be built over an old landfill
- Cincinnati took delivery of its first two all-electric buses
- Portage County (Akron/Canton) voted to reject a blanket ban on solar and wind farms

[Ohio Citizen Action @OHIOcitizenact]

"Solar power in Ohio is often polarized along political lines... But only about 1 in 4 primary voters in Richland County picked a Democratic ballot, meaning a broad swath of Republican voters wanted to reverse the ban."

Tomorrow, Richland County voters decide whether to become the first county in Ohio to overturn a large-scale renewable energy ban. "Regardless, the people will be the ones making that decision," said Morgan Carroll, Richland County resident. https://t.co/wH0bzoXOHN

Another successful #EarthMonth in the books! ✨🌎

BREAKING NEWS! 💥 The Richland County commissioner who voted to ban wind and solar texted "Mission accomplished" to a fossil fuel-linked consultant right after the vote. Richland County votes Tuesday on whether to overturn the ban. @EnergyandPolicy https://t.co/U7tdyPMhfL

Good morning with good news: US clean generation set three major records in March!

RE & nuclear were a record high 52.4% of US power.

Fossil fuels share plunged to 47.6%, lowest share ever.

RE (35.1%) generated more electricity than gas (34.4%) for a month for 1st time.

"A NO vote does one simple thing: it restores the process. It puts decisions back where they belong, case by case, with public input, local review, and accountability. Every project would still have to go through a long, regulated approval process." https://t.co/xdginEGWv6

🎙️ New #EcoRightSpeaks

What if going solar were as easy as plugging in an appliance? ☀️

Cora Stryker of @bright_saver joins us to talk plug-in (balcony) solar—and how it could make clean energy affordable for millions of Americans.

“The history of social movements often confines itself to the large events, the pivotal moments.
Missing from such histories are the countless small actions of unknown people that led up to those great moments.”

"This isn’t about data centers. It isn’t about property taxes. It’s about who gets to decide what happens on private property in Richland County, and that should stay in the hands of the property owner." https://t.co/i1p6Vby4eE

HB 303 already passed the Ohio House. It would greenlight 1,500 MW of community energy projects statewide, with a focus on brownfields. It could mean 10–20% lower electric bills for participants and won't raise bills for anyone who doesn't join. https://t.co/KwMrs9zAEL
