This isn’t just happening in Ohio,
John. According to a recent analysis, this
scandal is part of a generational and historic resurgence of fraud and
corruption in the utility sector, which has cost customers at least $6.6
billion.^1

These corrupt utility companies are turning to criminal behavior to block
the transition to renewable energy, hold on to their monopolies, and
continue making massive profits — while our planet burns and consumers
continue to pay more and more to heat and cool their homes.

It’s despicable — but given the history of utilities and the fossil fuel
industry, it’s not surprising in the slightest.

The good news is that both utilities and state regulators are ultimately
vulnerable to public pressure. If enough people speak up, call them out
for their corruption, and demand change, we can hold them accountable.

350 is going BIG on utilities this year, and we’re mobilizing tens of
thousands of people to fight back. But going up against utility companies
takes massive resources, and we need your support right now to equip
climate activists with the tools, resources, and knowledge they need.

Together, we can change how our homes are powered, but it’s not possible
without the help of supporters like you.

energy future, and save our planet?
