The affordability crisis in America is real. From health care to education to energy, government actions, well-intentioned or not, have skewed market forces and upended the natural law of supply and demand.
In the energy sector, the federal government’s years-long quest for an unnecessary transition to so-called "green energy" has resulted in higher electricity costs, decreased grid reliability, and, ironically, environmental degradation.
Fortunately, some states are pushing back with commonsense legislation intended to solve these specifically manmade problems. Earlier this year, Louisiana passed landmark legislation appropriately named the Affordable, Reliable, Clean Energy Security Act into law.
According to Louisiana governor Jeff Landry, “This bill is important because it is the first in the country… we’re going to protect and make sure that policy is enacted into law to ensure our electricity is affordable, reliable, and clean energy security for our state.”
If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Landry and Louisiana lawmakers should be pleased to know that Ohio lawmakers are following their precedent-setting law.
