Energy

Wind & Solar

Wind turbines only operate at about a 30% efficiency while littering rural landscapes and neighborhoods. They are unsustainable in a free market and would have no demand without massive government subsidies. Solar panels are similarly inefficient, costly to produce, and not right for every community.

Gary was happy to co-sponsor and vote for Senator Bill Reineke's HB 52 in the 134th General Assembly, which empowered local communities in Ohio to make their voices heard and to ban large-scale wind and solar projects.

Coal and Natural Gas

Although coal and natural gas are not abundant resources in NW Ohio, they are a vital and necessary part of our energy grid, providing great jobs in other regions of Ohio and deserve our support.
