The state House of Representatives passed legislation last week that would block Ohio cities from limiting or banning residents from obtaining natural gas or propane services for their homes.
All House Republicans and two Democrats voted in favor of House Bill 201, which would undercut potential efforts from cities taking a go-at-it alone approach to climate change when the state won’t act.
No Ohio cities have undertaken any such effort, though some like Cleveland and Cincinnati have passed resolutions aimed at operating exclusively on renewable energy by 2025.
The bill would prevent cities from enacting any law or building code that “limits, prohibits, or prevents” residential, commercial, or industrial consumers within their boundaries from obtaining natural gas service.

Five men have been arrested after a large-scale cannabis farm was discovered in a vacant mill in Rochdale.
Police discovered around 5,000 suspected cannabis plants on Mitchell Hey Mill, College Road, after an Electricity North West engineer found a false wall inside a sub-station.
The plants were found in around 20 rooms inside the building when officers attended at about 12.30pm yesterday (Tuesday 27 April 2021).
Five men remain in custody for questioning on suspicion of cultivating cannabis.
Detective Inspector Matthew Hamer, from GMP s Rochdale CID, said: This is a significant find and takes a substantial quantity of drugs off the street.
Forge Biologics, a Columbus, Ohio-based gene therapy-focused contract development and manufacturing organization, closed a $120m Series B financing.
The round was led by RA Capital Management with participation from Perceptive Advisors and related affiliates, Surveyor Capital (a Citadel company), Octagon Capital, and Marshall Wace and existing investors Perceptive Xontogeny Venture Fund and Drive Capital. In connection with the financing, Matthew Hammond, Ph.D., of RA Capital, and Fred Callori of the Perceptive Xontogeny Venture Fund will join Forge’s Board of Directors.
The company intends to use the funds to accelerate the expansion of its AAV manufacturing CDMO capabilities with cGMP production capacity, as well as operate its subsidiaries that are advancing novel adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene therapy programs.

FAIRMONT– During the Fairmont School Board meeting on Tuesday evening, Matthew Hammer from Ehlers Public Finance Advisors presented the board with results from the sale of the district’s $6.73 million general obligation bonds following the special election which took place on Feb. 9.
“I come to you from Ehlers today with some really good news. We took bids this morning and ended up with a 1.87 percent interest rate,” Hammer said.
Hammer said that pre-sale estimates they had previously provided were at a 2.67 percent interest rate.
“In big numbers, what that means is we’re looking at debt service levies for property tax levies over the life of the bonds of about $1.8 million less than pre-election estimates,” Hammer said.
