“All-of-the-Above”? Please. 🙄

That’s not an energy strategy—that’s a participation trophy. 🏆 Throw everything on the grid and hope it works? That’s how you get rolling blackouts, sky-high bills, and AI data centers scrambling for power.

The real play? 👉 Best-of-the-Above.
Pick the winners. Ditch the losers.
⚡ Nuclear = 24/7 backbone.
🔥 Gas = flexible backup.
🌬️☀️ Wind & solar? Nice science fair projects, but let’s not bet the economy on the weather.

Ohio doesn’t need slogans—it needs serious energy. Time to stop pretending “all” is smart, when “best” is what keeps the lights on. 💡

Ohio’s Energy Crossroads: Why “Best of the Above” Beats “All of the Above” | eGeneration Foundation Blackouts, soaring bills, and an AI-driven demand surge—Ohio’s impending energy crisis is no accident. PJM’s incompetence and intermittent power obsession are steering us straight into disaster. Here’s how lawmakers can take back control before it’s too late. ⚡🔥

Alright, legislators—put down the talking points and grab a pen. This is the part where you get educated.

The Ohio Nuclear Development Consortium Act isn’t just another bill. It’s the industrial moonshot your grandchildren will ask if you voted for—and if you didn’t, you’d better hope they don’t Google it.

Here’s the deal, stripped of the usual political fluff:

$2 billion from Ohio’s Unclaimed Funds Trust (yes, money just sitting there) goes into a state-backed, for-profit public benefit corporation—the ONDC.

Ohio keeps a minimum 10% ownership stake, so when this takes off (and it will), the state actually earns money instead of writing checks.

There’s a 1:1 private capital match—which means Wall Street can’t just sit on the sidelines and whine. They have to buy in.

Zero taxpayer liability. Let me repeat that for the committee members in the back—zero.

Now, what do we get for this chess move? Glad you asked:

HALEU fuel production—the holy grail for advanced reactors, without which America cedes nuclear leadership to… well, the countries you don’t want in charge of it.

Modular, fast-spectrum molten salt reactors—the reactors that actually solve the waste problem while producing carbon-free baseload power.

Nuclear waste remediation—turning yesterday’s liability into tomorrow’s power.

Critical isotopes for medical miracles and national defense.

Municipal Solid Waste consumption—yes, the trash in your city can literally become clean power.

Ultra-clean transportation fuels—because EVs aren’t the only game in town.

We’re not talking small potatoes here. That $2 billion state stake? It’s expected to leverage $10 billion+ from the feds and private sector. That’s a 5x multiplier—try getting that from wind subsidies or another “innovation hub” that dies in committee.

And before anyone hyperventilates about touching the Unclaimed Funds Trust—relax. The Act keeps a $200 million cash reserve to pay out claims immediately. No IOUs, no excuses.

Bottom line: this is a generational leap in energy, industry, and economic sovereignty. Ohio either votes yes and leads—or votes no and watches someone else take the crown.

So, lawmakers, the choice is yours: do you want to be remembered as the generation that built Ohio’s nuclear renaissance… or the one that left it on someone else’s desk?
