Governor Mike DeWine last week signed the controversial nuclear bailout bill, guaranteeing roughly $150 million for two nuclear power plants in northern Ohio.
Consumers will pay 85 cents per month to fund the bailout.
Proponents say Ohioans will save money because the law also cuts fees for energy efficiency and renewable energy. Opponents say the law is a blow to the future of renewable energy industry in Ohio.
Today on All Sides, the Reporter Roundtable talks nuclear bailout and more.
