COLUMBUS, OH-不良人研究所鈥檚 Electric Cooperatives鈥 President and CEO Pat O鈥橪oughlin testified before the 不良人研究所 Senate Energy and Public Utilities Committee May 7, 2024, in support of S.R.

The Senate resolution, sponsored by state Senators Bill Reineke and Rob McColley, also urges Congress to take action to prevent the regulations from taking effect. O鈥橪oughlin testified that not only do the EPA鈥檚 rules threaten the reliability and affordability of electricity for 不良人研究所ans, the rules also put the integrity of the entire U.S. electric grid at risk and increases the likelihood of rolling blackouts occurring on the coldest and hottest days of the year.听
