Chris Nelson was in Ohio opining about renewable energy tax policies. Here's an excerpt:

"Christopher Nelson, CEO of WHE Generation, which harnesses wasted heat and energy byproducts into usable power, said Ohio lacks predictability in its policies, which is driving down investment.

"We're not looking necessarily for handouts from the government to run our company. What we do want is stability, predictability for the future so we can know and we can judge moving forward where we can best grow our business and put our money to work," Nelson said.

Nelson and the other panelists said their companies are looking to states with more consistent energy policies to grow their businesses.

Ohio was the first state to roll back renewable energy and energy efficiency standards. Supporters of the freeze said the standards have increased consumers' utility bills and discouraged job growth. A panel of lawmakers is further studying the standards during the freeze."
