<v Speaker 1>Get involve. Every little bit helps. An AFP will help

4
00:00:11.919 --> 00:00:14.519
<v Speaker 1>you do that. It's AFP action dot com. Get signed

5
00:00:14.599 --> 00:00:17.399

6
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:20.320
<v Speaker 1>right direction. Welcome back, Donovan and O'Neil from Americans for Prosperity.

7
00:00:20.359 --> 00:00:22.760
<v Speaker 1>It's always a pleasure having you on the program.

8
00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:24.960
<v Speaker 2>Brian. Good to be here with you.

9
00:00:24.559 --> 00:00:26.839
<v Speaker 1>You know, and are you going to talk about energy today?

10
00:00:26.839 --> 00:00:28.719
<v Speaker 1>And we'll get to that topic. I just had to

11
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:34.679
<v Speaker 1>just say out loud, filling the gas tank isn't as painful.

12
00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:37.159
<v Speaker 1>It just seems like in five minutes time, the price

13
00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:41.320
<v Speaker 1>of gas has dropped fairly dramatically. What magic one did

14
00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:43.159
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump waive to cause that.

15
00:00:43.159 --> 00:00:43.920
<v Speaker 2>To happen.

16
00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:47.520
<v Speaker 3>Four weeks in a row. I think of consistent drop

17
00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:51.280
<v Speaker 3>in national gas price averages. I think what it is, right,

18
00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:54.280
<v Speaker 3>there's no single action I think that's been taken, But

19
00:00:54.359 --> 00:00:56.600
<v Speaker 3>I think what it is is an increased confidence and

20
00:00:56.679 --> 00:00:59.280
<v Speaker 3>the fact that all energy sources here in this country

21
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:01.479
<v Speaker 3>are going to be embrace right, We're not pushing towards

22
00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:04.920
<v Speaker 3>this green new deal, Green energy new deal.

23
00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:06.719
<v Speaker 2>It's recognizing that.

24
00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:09.040
<v Speaker 3>We've got to have fuel to fuel our cars and

25
00:01:09.079 --> 00:01:12.879
<v Speaker 3>an apportable price right now, and folks are making that investment.

26
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:15.040
<v Speaker 1>And making that investment, and that is like having a

27
00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:17.680
<v Speaker 1>tax cut it. I mean, if you can lower the

28
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:20.280
<v Speaker 1>price of our monthly energy bills, for example, we all

29
00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:23.159
<v Speaker 1>benefit from that. It frees up more resources. I just

30
00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:26.200
<v Speaker 1>get this idea that, you know, the forces in government

31
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:30.000
<v Speaker 1>are doing everything that they can possibly do to eradicate

32
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:34.560
<v Speaker 1>our extra income and reduce our consumption power. It's like this,

33
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:37.400
<v Speaker 1>it just seems to be this sort of grand conspiracy

34
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:39.959
<v Speaker 1>to limit what we can spend on and soak it

35
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:43.879
<v Speaker 1>all up with outrageous energy prices and you know, increase

36
00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:46.959
<v Speaker 1>insurance premiums and increase every I mean, it's just every

37
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:49.680
<v Speaker 1>little bit around us is whittled away, whittled away, whittled

38
00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:50.840
<v Speaker 1>away by government action.

39
00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:54.519
<v Speaker 3>Well, yeah, you know, there's the there's a direct form

40
00:01:54.599 --> 00:01:57.159
<v Speaker 3>of taxation, right that we feel every two weeks at

41
00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:02.480
<v Speaker 3>our pocketbook. Then you've got the inflationary form of taxation, right,

42
00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:05.040
<v Speaker 3>It's that hidden taxation that comes from the government printing

43
00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:07.480
<v Speaker 3>more money and spending more money and debuting value of

44
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:10.400
<v Speaker 3>the dollar. And then there's a regulatory right, so it's

45
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:12.719
<v Speaker 3>even more hidden. But it's the kind of taxation that

46
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:16.280
<v Speaker 3>occurs through the rules and regulations, the red tape that

47
00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:20.840
<v Speaker 3>government creates that makes it more cost, creates compliance costs

48
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:23.599
<v Speaker 3>that get passed on to consumers. I think what we're

49
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:26.120
<v Speaker 3>seeing right now is an undoing of a lot of

50
00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:29.639
<v Speaker 3>those things, right, lower taxes, less government spending, and cutting

51
00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:33.520
<v Speaker 3>a red tape that's leading to relief for American people

52
00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:35.080
<v Speaker 3>after four years of Bidenomics.

53
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:37.919
<v Speaker 1>Indeed, and this whole idea that you know, climate change,

54
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:41.479
<v Speaker 1>climate change, and forcing energy companies to invest in renewable

55
00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:44.840
<v Speaker 1>resources which are not reliable that drives the cost of

56
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:47.280
<v Speaker 1>energy up too, and of course leaves us with less

57
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:51.319
<v Speaker 1>reliable energy sources. And AFP is a hell bend for

58
00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:54.960
<v Speaker 1>leather here in Ohio to improve our energy policy. Am

59
00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:55.360
<v Speaker 1>I right?

60
00:02:56.759 --> 00:03:00.479
<v Speaker 3>That's correct? No special interests, no favorite energy. We want

61
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:04.360
<v Speaker 3>an abundance energy, an abundance approach to energy policy making

62
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:06.319
<v Speaker 3>here in the state of Ohio. And I'm happy to

63
00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:09.120
<v Speaker 3>report lawmakers in the state of Ohio have started. I

64
00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:11.599
<v Speaker 3>have taken some important first steps and getting us.

65
00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:14.400
<v Speaker 1>There and what might those steps be and I got

66
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:16.719
<v Speaker 1>my fingers crossed and includes a nuclear.

67
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:18.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

68
00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:22.080
<v Speaker 3>So we actually issued our first key vote alert yesterday.

69
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:25.800
<v Speaker 3>They voted it out of the Senate Energy Committee unanimously

70
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:26.680
<v Speaker 3>eleven yes.

71
00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:28.879
<v Speaker 2>Votes, zero no votes. Senate Bill two.

72
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:32.800
<v Speaker 3>This is an important piece of legislation that will undo

73
00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:38.039
<v Speaker 3>subsidies that were brought in through Houspital six, the scandal

74
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:42.400
<v Speaker 3>written Nuclear Energy LG and will most importantly.

75
00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:44.800
<v Speaker 2>Expedite the sighting process. This is what you like, Brian.

76
00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:46.639
<v Speaker 3>I've just prepping for this on the nuclear because I

77
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:49.120
<v Speaker 3>know you're a big nuclear fan. The sighting process, So

78
00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:50.680
<v Speaker 3>if you're in the state of Ohio, you'll be able

79
00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:53.280
<v Speaker 3>to get an energy project up and going within forty

80
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:56.280
<v Speaker 3>five days. The Power Sighting Board has forty five days

81
00:03:56.759 --> 00:03:58.960
<v Speaker 3>to get to a yes or a no.

82
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:00.719
<v Speaker 2>Give give an energy company and answer.

83
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:04.319
<v Speaker 3>If they were failed to respond, that project's automatically approved.

84
00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:06.520
<v Speaker 3>And so what that's gonna do is it's going to

85
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:09.960
<v Speaker 3>signal to energy generators across the country who want to

86
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:13.120
<v Speaker 3>make investments and energy projects that Ohio is open for

87
00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:15.879
<v Speaker 3>business and ready to bring. If you've got a project,

88
00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:18.439
<v Speaker 3>you can get excited here in the state of Ohio.

89
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:19.399
<v Speaker 2>And you're not gonna have.

90
00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:21.720
<v Speaker 3>To wait years to figure out if you're gonna if

91
00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:24.160
<v Speaker 3>it's going to be approved. You're gonna have answers within

92
00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:26.720
<v Speaker 3>a month and a half on these expedited processes.

93
00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:30.519
<v Speaker 1>Wow, that is amazing. Well, let's pause and we'll bring

94
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:33.519
<v Speaker 1>Donovan O'Neil back to talk a little bit more about

95
00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:35.399
<v Speaker 1>what this might mean for Ohio. I got to pause

96
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:38.160
<v Speaker 1>and mentioned my good friend Peter Shabria Kellowiams seven Hills

97
00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:41.240
<v Speaker 1>and his amazing real estate team providing real value when

98
00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:44.199
<v Speaker 1>it comes to buyers agents sellers agents. They are the

99
00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:47.399
<v Speaker 1>best in the business. For example, how many realtors do

100
00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:49.680
<v Speaker 1>you know that will guarantee the sale of your home?

101
00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:54.000
<v Speaker 1>I certainly know one the only agent i'd ever trust

102
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:55.759
<v Speaker 1>to buy or sell a home, the team at Peter

103
00:04:55.800 --> 00:04:59.360
<v Speaker 1>Shabria Kelowilliams seven Hills. They're guarantee as simple. You start out,

104
00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:01.600
<v Speaker 1>you agree on a price and a timeline with Peter

105
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:03.199
<v Speaker 1>and his team, and if they don't sell your home

106
00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:06.959
<v Speaker 1>by that price at that time, they buy it. That's right,

107
00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:10.120
<v Speaker 1>they buy it. It's that simple boom. You know exactly

108
00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:12.560
<v Speaker 1>buy when your home will sell, and you know exactly

109
00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:14.560
<v Speaker 1>what the price will be, but they'll probably end up

110
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:16.519
<v Speaker 1>selling it quicker than that for more money. But you

111
00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:19.360
<v Speaker 1>got great results with Peter Shabia Killerwilliams seven Hills to

112
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:21.480
<v Speaker 1>reach them, and you should. It's the only again, the

113
00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:25.319
<v Speaker 1>only folks that ever consider retaining for buying orange selling

114

<v Speaker 1>Talking energy policy today was Senate Bill too Donovan, forty

148
00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:17.600
<v Speaker 1>five days to approve or deny a project. In terms

149
00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:20.199
<v Speaker 1>of what building an energy plan or a power plan

150
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:22.319
<v Speaker 1>or maybe a nuclear plan is it is that?

151
00:07:22.439 --> 00:07:24.120
<v Speaker 2>Is that? My is that? The is that?

152
00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:25.480
<v Speaker 1>What is this bill is all about?

153
00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:29.439
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, there's a number of different provisions in there as

154
00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:32.319
<v Speaker 3>well as like removing the electric security plans in place

155
00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:36.120
<v Speaker 3>of market rate offers. But on the permitting piece, what's

156
00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:39.160
<v Speaker 3>really key here is you'll you know, you hear about

157
00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:42.120
<v Speaker 3>all the time, right like Keystone Pipeline and these other

158
00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:45.920
<v Speaker 3>energy projects that that that get featured in election years.

159
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:51.480
<v Speaker 3>It's the bureaucracy, right Yeah, the knowing whether projects going

160
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:54.000
<v Speaker 3>have you approved or not that oftentimes can kill these

161
00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:57.720
<v Speaker 3>things before they ever see the light of day. I

162
00:07:57.720 --> 00:07:59.600
<v Speaker 3>think that's a key part of this, right is that

163
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:02.120
<v Speaker 3>they're saying saying, you know, if we can we find

164
00:08:02.120 --> 00:08:06.360
<v Speaker 3>these it's these designated areas of the state where we

165
00:08:06.399 --> 00:08:08.560
<v Speaker 3>need the energy generation to occur, We're going to create

166
00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:11.920
<v Speaker 3>that expedited that expedited process and for the rest of them,

167
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:14.519
<v Speaker 3>they'll also have a quick and reliable process.

168
00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:16.240
<v Speaker 2>I think it's something like ninety or one hundred and

169
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:19.040
<v Speaker 2>eighty days. But either way, Brian, what this legislation is.

170
00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:21.199
<v Speaker 3>Going to do is give folks the confidence that if

171
00:08:21.240 --> 00:08:23.079
<v Speaker 3>they're going to invest in an energy project, they're going

172
00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:25.079
<v Speaker 3>to have an answer within a defined period of time.

173
00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:28.279
<v Speaker 3>No more bureaucrafts slow walking the process. We're going to

174
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:29.959
<v Speaker 3>get it in, we're going to get it out, or

175
00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:31.319
<v Speaker 3>you get energy on the grid.

176
00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:33.759
<v Speaker 1>Well, I'm almost afraid to ask this question, but quite

177
00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:36.360
<v Speaker 1>often these projects are held up in litigation. There's all

178
00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:40.279
<v Speaker 1>kinds of environmental lawsuits, you know, the oh this particular

179
00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:42.559
<v Speaker 1>fish or turtle is going to be impacted by and

180
00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:44.799
<v Speaker 1>they run into court and it court slaps an injunction

181
00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:47.679
<v Speaker 1>on it, preventing the project from going forward. Does this

182
00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:51.440
<v Speaker 1>deal with those types of concerns and resulting delays.

183
00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:54.600
<v Speaker 3>Well, that's a good point. I guess it's not all

184
00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:57.679
<v Speaker 3>sunshine and rainbows, right. They don't have a little problem

185
00:08:57.720 --> 00:09:01.519
<v Speaker 3>known as the federal government, and you got or nerk

186
00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:04.879
<v Speaker 3>if you're dealing with nuclear power. What I think is

187
00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:06.799
<v Speaker 3>key here is is you know, and as a state,

188
00:09:06.840 --> 00:09:09.080
<v Speaker 3>we're able to move a little faster than the federal government.

189
00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:11.919
<v Speaker 3>So the state's going to get its business in order

190
00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:12.840
<v Speaker 3>and be ready to go.

191
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:14.159
<v Speaker 2>Well, we're going to be then.

192
00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:16.759
<v Speaker 3>Looking to is creating that upward pressure to the federal

193
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:19.279
<v Speaker 3>government and making sure And I think we've got a

194
00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:21.720
<v Speaker 3>good voice and advocate in the White House. We've got

195
00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:24.039
<v Speaker 3>the right folks in Congress. We need them to do

196
00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:25.919
<v Speaker 3>their part. I think a lot of that happens in

197
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:28.360
<v Speaker 3>the one big beautiful bill that's that's being worked on

198
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:31.360
<v Speaker 3>right now in Congress to get the federal government alignment

199
00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:34.320
<v Speaker 3>so that, yeah, we can get these projects done and

200
00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:36.399
<v Speaker 3>get to focus on relief.

201
00:09:36.039 --> 00:09:36.960
<v Speaker 2>On their entranty bills.

202
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:39.559
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you mentioned Keystone pipeline. It was you know, approved

203
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:42.840
<v Speaker 1>across the board and you know, over multiple administrations and

204
00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:44.639
<v Speaker 1>only to have Biden pulled the plug on it again

205
00:09:44.679 --> 00:09:48.639
<v Speaker 1>when he got elected. It's just I have never understood that.

206
00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:51.720
<v Speaker 1>And from an environmental standpoint, the pipeline much better than

207
00:09:51.799 --> 00:09:54.840
<v Speaker 1>loading up oil onto trains and sending it on train

208
00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:59.000
<v Speaker 1>tracks down to the refineries in Texas. So I just

209
00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:04.919
<v Speaker 1>really really baffling. So anything else in this centibil too,

210
00:10:04.960 --> 00:10:07.879
<v Speaker 1>you want to bring my listeners attention, Well, I.

211
00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:09.759
<v Speaker 3>Think the other thing is these market rate offers. I

212
00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:12.000
<v Speaker 3>hint it out just a moment ago. So you know,

213
00:10:12.039 --> 00:10:14.759
<v Speaker 3>when we originally deregulated the state of Ohio. Right, and

214
00:10:14.799 --> 00:10:18.200
<v Speaker 3>we said energy generators are in a generator. Energy distributors

215
00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:21.279
<v Speaker 3>are going to distribute the energy. Neverthe two shall meet.

216
00:10:21.679 --> 00:10:24.519
<v Speaker 3>The distributors sound a number of different loopholes and ways

217
00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:26.960
<v Speaker 3>to kind of put riders and new fees on your

218
00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:29.799
<v Speaker 3>bill that get us all scratching our heads and wondering

219
00:10:29.799 --> 00:10:32.399
<v Speaker 3>why our bills keep going up. The market rate, requiring

220
00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:36.039
<v Speaker 3>market rate offers is going to force companies to go

221
00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:38.240
<v Speaker 3>to the market like they should in a free market

222
00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:42.200
<v Speaker 3>economy and get the best and cheapest options and deliver

223
00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:45.000
<v Speaker 3>those to the customers. We think that's going to help

224
00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:47.519
<v Speaker 3>do is bring down the costs on energy and again

225
00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:52.440
<v Speaker 3>allow all forms of energy wind, solar, nuclear, coal, oil, gas,

226
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:55.440
<v Speaker 3>whatever to compete on the same marketplace, in the same

227
00:10:55.480 --> 00:11:00.759
<v Speaker 3>marketplace for your energy dollar, ultimately resulting in a better

228
00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:03.200
<v Speaker 3>product for the consumers. And that's what this bill is

229
00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:04.840
<v Speaker 3>all about, empowering the consumers.

230
00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:08.039
<v Speaker 1>Well, that's wonderful. And lower energy prices mean we have

231
00:11:08.120 --> 00:11:10.720
<v Speaker 1>a greater magnet to draw business and industry in the

232
00:11:10.759 --> 00:11:12.840
<v Speaker 1>state of Ohio. I mean, can you imagine trying to

233
00:11:12.840 --> 00:11:15.440
<v Speaker 1>set up a business in California with the outrageous price

234
00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:18.720
<v Speaker 1>of energy there. Oh, look, here's a cheaper option. We've

235
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:21.879
<v Speaker 1>got plenty of land resources and abundant cheap energy in

236
00:11:21.960 --> 00:11:24.720
<v Speaker 1>the state of Ohio. I know Viva Grammarsom he's planning

237
00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:26.799
<v Speaker 1>on getting rid of the income tax. Whether he's successful

238
00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:28.600
<v Speaker 1>in that or not, but that also is a type

239
00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:32.279
<v Speaker 1>of magnet. It's certainly worked for Texas and Florida.

240
00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:32.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

241
00:11:32.879 --> 00:11:36.039
<v Speaker 3>Well, and when you talk about businesses, there's also provisions

242
00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:37.840
<v Speaker 3>in here to allow behind what they call behind the

243
00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:41.200
<v Speaker 3>meter for large companies. So if Amazon or Google want

244
00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:43.279
<v Speaker 3>to locate their big data centers here in the state

245
00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:46.159
<v Speaker 3>of Ohio right now, many of the proposals have had

246
00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:49.279
<v Speaker 3>taxpayers on the hook. If those projects fall through or

247
00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:52.399
<v Speaker 3>something happens, taxpayers, the rate payers are going to have

248
00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:53.600
<v Speaker 3>to shoulder some of that burden.

249
00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:55.240
<v Speaker 2>This removes that.

250
00:11:55.240 --> 00:11:58.559
<v Speaker 3>Provision, removes that ability and says no, Amazon, Google, you

251
00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:01.279
<v Speaker 3>can build your energy behind the meter here in the

252
00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:03.000
<v Speaker 3>state of Ohio. In fact, we want you to do it,

253
00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:04.759
<v Speaker 3>but you're not going to put it on the backs

254
00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:06.559
<v Speaker 3>of the rate payers. And so what we think that'll

255
00:12:06.559 --> 00:12:09.279
<v Speaker 3>do is allow those private companies to partner with energy

256
00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:13.159
<v Speaker 3>generation companies to build their necessary energy infrastructure to put

257
00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:16.039
<v Speaker 3>their projects here in Ohio, and then I Yali Bryant,

258
00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:21.679
<v Speaker 3>with Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey fail to actually embrace

259
00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:24.879
<v Speaker 3>energy abundance in their states. They're going to come knock

260
00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:27.600
<v Speaker 3>on Ohio's door asking to get that energy onto the grid.

261
00:12:27.759 --> 00:12:30.240
<v Speaker 3>We're going to become a net exporter of energy, where

262
00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:32.320
<v Speaker 3>right now we're a net importer of energy. We ought

263
00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:36.480
<v Speaker 3>to be exporting our energy to the East Coast, and

264
00:12:36.559 --> 00:12:38.360
<v Speaker 3>we're going to be able to do that. I think

265
00:12:38.360 --> 00:12:40.120
<v Speaker 3>if Centebil two becomes law.

266
00:12:40.200 --> 00:12:42.879
<v Speaker 1>I agree completely. And you know, going back to nuclear,

267
00:12:42.919 --> 00:12:45.320
<v Speaker 1>which you know I like, and these modular nuclear plants

268
00:12:45.320 --> 00:12:47.799
<v Speaker 1>which have a very small footprint, not your three mile

269
00:12:47.879 --> 00:12:51.159
<v Speaker 1>island technology folks. We're decades and decades beyond that from

270
00:12:51.159 --> 00:12:56.320
<v Speaker 1>a technological standpoint. But those big powerhouse data companies, they

271
00:12:56.360 --> 00:13:00.519
<v Speaker 1>have massive political influence, they have massive amounts of money,

272
00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:03.759
<v Speaker 1>and they need huge amounts of energy to run these

273
00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:06.840
<v Speaker 1>data centers. They'll have they can build their own modular

274
00:13:06.919 --> 00:13:10.120
<v Speaker 1>nuke plants and we will enjoy the benefits of it,

275
00:13:10.159 --> 00:13:12.879
<v Speaker 1>because I presume the way these nuclear plants work, they'll

276
00:13:12.960 --> 00:13:16.600
<v Speaker 1>generate far more energy than the data centers actually require,

277
00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:19.120
<v Speaker 1>which means local communities can get the benefit of the

278
00:13:19.159 --> 00:13:20.720
<v Speaker 1>having the nuclear power plants there.

279
00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:23.240
<v Speaker 2>Yep. And that's the idea.

280
00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:25.000
<v Speaker 3>And a lot of folks have been hung up on, well,

281
00:13:25.159 --> 00:13:26.759
<v Speaker 3>was the federal you know, the Fed's going to have

282
00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:27.840
<v Speaker 3>this stuff go on the grid?

283
00:13:27.879 --> 00:13:28.919
<v Speaker 2>How's this all going to work?

284
00:13:29.320 --> 00:13:31.279
<v Speaker 3>I think what we're seeing in Centabile two and from

285
00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:34.120
<v Speaker 3>the conversations happening in committee and outside of the committee, is

286
00:13:34.519 --> 00:13:36.279
<v Speaker 3>we're just gonna We're just going to open up the

287
00:13:36.279 --> 00:13:38.320
<v Speaker 3>state of Ohio for energy bundance. We're going to take

288
00:13:38.320 --> 00:13:40.519
<v Speaker 3>this energy abundance approach to policy making.

289
00:13:40.799 --> 00:13:42.759
<v Speaker 2>We're going to ask folks to cite their projects here

290
00:13:42.759 --> 00:13:43.320
<v Speaker 2>in the state.

291
00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:46.919
<v Speaker 3>Of Ohio all the above, and as as folks see

292
00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:49.120
<v Speaker 3>this energy have generating in the state of Ohio, they're

293
00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:50.960
<v Speaker 3>going to come knock in and asking for it. And

294
00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:53.960
<v Speaker 3>it's gonna it's gonna end up working out to where

295
00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:56.679
<v Speaker 3>this this is going to create an opportunity here in

296
00:13:56.679 --> 00:13:59.919
<v Speaker 3>the state of Ohioland so, uh yeah, that's that's the idea.

297
00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:01.879
<v Speaker 3>And by the way, we're doing it with how many

298
00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:05.279
<v Speaker 3>subsidies Brian Zero, We've got fire to have a rate

299
00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:08.440
<v Speaker 3>payers subsidize anybody's favorite interest projects.

300
00:14:08.799 --> 00:14:09.519
<v Speaker 2>We're doing it with.

301
00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:13.480
<v Speaker 3>Zero and they're because they're letting the free market dictate

302
00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:14.679
<v Speaker 3>how this is going to operate.

303
00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:18.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well that last one was attained in controversy. To

304
00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:22.960
<v Speaker 1>say the least, political careers and freedoms and liberties in

305
00:14:23.039 --> 00:14:25.399
<v Speaker 1>jeopardy is a consequence of that, Shenanigan. So this is

306
00:14:25.399 --> 00:14:27.840
<v Speaker 1>a better approach. How come my listeners getting involved on

307
00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:28.639
<v Speaker 1>Van O'Neill.

308
00:14:29.679 --> 00:14:33.159
<v Speaker 3>Well, we're at a critical juncture. Go to Buckeye blueprint

309
00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:36.039
<v Speaker 3>dot com. You go to Buckeye blueprint dot com. Most

310
00:14:36.039 --> 00:14:38.240
<v Speaker 3>important is reach out to your senators. We anticipate this

311
00:14:38.360 --> 00:14:40.360
<v Speaker 3>legislation will be on the floor of the Ohio Senate

312
00:14:40.440 --> 00:14:44.279
<v Speaker 3>later today, if not next week, and then there's legislation

313
00:14:44.360 --> 00:14:46.639
<v Speaker 3>moving in the House as well. And so most importantly,

314
00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:51.039
<v Speaker 3>contact your representatives and say, hey, support energy generation here

315
00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:51.879
<v Speaker 3>in the state of Ohio.

316
00:14:51.960 --> 00:14:54.360
<v Speaker 2>And you do that by visiting Buckeye blueprint dot com.

317
00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:57.240
<v Speaker 1>Well, it came out of committee unanimous. Is there really

318
00:14:57.279 --> 00:15:00.399
<v Speaker 1>any political opposition to this in Columbus?

319
00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:04.039
<v Speaker 3>The only folks who are posing this are the utilities

320
00:15:04.279 --> 00:15:06.600
<v Speaker 3>because they stand to lose the most and the ability

321
00:15:06.600 --> 00:15:09.720
<v Speaker 3>to impact rate pairs with these new writers that they.

322
00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:11.559
<v Speaker 2>Keep imposing on otherwise.

323
00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:15.840
<v Speaker 3>There's pretty pretty widespread support for this legislation because it

324
00:15:15.879 --> 00:15:20.480
<v Speaker 3>doesn't favor any particular group, a resource, or industry.

325
00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:24.159
<v Speaker 1>It helps all Ohio residents who consume power and pay

326
00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:26.360
<v Speaker 1>a power bill. That's great news for everybody in the

327
00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:30.600
<v Speaker 1>state of Ohio. Thank you Buckeye Blueprint dot Com. Donovan,
