nuclear bailout

The former FirstEnergy lobbyist proclaims his innocence.

In legal papers, the utility states that it can't confirm or deny whether money from Ohio customers was used in connection with HB6, the controversial nuclear and coal bailout law.

Ohio ratepayers face, on average, a $7 increase in monthly bills to subsidize two nuclear power plants once owned by Akron-based FirstEnergy. The investigation continues into whether the company bribed legislators to ensure passage of the legislation that authorized the subsidies.

FirstEnergy's new CEO Steve Strah acknowledges the cloud of uncertainty hanging over the company after the former CEO and two other executives were fired last week.

The nuclear energy bill known as HB6 and the federal corruption investigation associated with it are being used in many campaigns for candidates running in races for the Ohio House of Representatives and Senate this November.

Opponents of HB6, Ohio's sweeping energy law, gathered for an official virtual hearing to make their voices heard. That includes one of the whistleblowers who went to the FBI to report potential corruption which played a role in a federal racketeering case.
