The Greenpeace Airship A.E. Bates flies over Cincinnati with a banner reading "Dump Duke" on one side and "Cleaner is Cheaper" on the other. Greenpeace is urging the city council to choose clean, renewable energy over Duke Energy coal-fired power plants. On Monday, the City of Cincinnati’s Budget and Finance Committee held the first of two public hearings on the city’s plan for Gas and Electric aggregation. Dozens of Cincinnati residents, young and old, attended and spoke up for 100% clean, renewable energy in Cincinnati.
In November, Cincinnati voters overwhelming passed electric aggregation, allowing the city to pool our purchasing power and form a buying group in which we can negotiate lower electric prices and choose renewable sources.
