 un 4/6 @ 9-10AM\nClean renewable energy is our future — if the planet an
 d the human race is to have any future. Sadly\, many of our politicians\, 
 both on the federal level and here in Ohio\, haven’t made the future the
 ir priority. We saw that recently with the $62 million scandal that erupte
 d around HB 6\, a giveaway to big energy companies (including bailouts for
  obsolete coal companies\, one of which was in Indiana!) and send Ohio Hou
 se Speaker Larry Householder to prison. And our legislature continues to t
 hrow up roadblocks to solar and wind facilities\, which not only produce e
 nergy but create jobs and fuel the economy.\nThe next in the series of “
 Forums That Matter” at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Clevel
 and takes on this issue in “Route to a Cleaner Ohio\,” looking at how 
 we get our state looking to the future\, not locking in the past.\nThey te
 ll us that “Ohio is among the top 10 states for total energy consumption
 \; however\, Ohio ranks 40th out of 50 states in the race toward renewable
  energy progress. In 2021\, just 4% of the state’s electricity was suppl
 ied by renewables.” Those are sad statistics. The speaker will be Grant 
 Goodrich\, executive director of the Great Lakes Energy Institute at the C
 ase School of Engineering\, which explores new energy technologies\, inclu
 ding community solar\, better heat pumps\, and upgrades to the electric gr
 id.\nThe forum is free and open to all\, and will also be available on Zoo
 m. Don't worry that it's at a church — Unitarians don't proselytize. But
  they usually have coffee! Go here for more information.\nuucleveland.org/
