Ohioans face longer outages as rules may loosen

FirstEnergy wants Ohio regulators to let its utilities take more time restoring power and allow more outages each year—right as storms and extreme weather are hitting harder than ever. Many Ohioans have already paid millions for grid upgrades, so it’s no wonder people are frustrated at the idea of getting less reliable service. Consumer advocates warn this could put health and safety at risk, especially for vulnerable neighbors. Should utilities get a pass because of climate change, or should they be pushed to invest more in clean energy and efficiency? How would longer outages affect your daily life? #Business #Industry #Ohio
