βοΈ Vinton County, Ohio has dug coal for over a century. Its next energy export is sunlight.
Last month Ohio regulators unanimously approved 149 MW of solar plus 149 MW of battery storage on reclaimed coal-mine land β and not a single party opposed it (Canary Media, Sept 10). A 2025 state law now lets 70,000+ acres of former mine land and brownfields be fast-tracked for solar.
If solar pencils out on a coal mine in Appalachia, it pencils out on your roof. See what your home could save π gogamma.org
