Electric co-ops and power providers are concerned that the state will not be able to have enough electricity to support its future needs. The U.S. EPA issued a rule that targets electric coal and natural gas plants in the United States. By 2032, any fossil fuel-powered plant will be 90% carbon-emission-free. Electric co-ops say this would mean that carbon-capturing technology would have to be added, making the process more expensive for large operations. If they can't reach the carbon emission level, the plants need to close. Lieutenant Governor Jon Husted says one reason that many companies want to move or expand in Ohio is because of cheap energy, and these mandates could mean the state power needs may not be met.
