Ohio city funds solar with $100,000-a-year carbon fee
Original: An Ohio city is raising about $100,000 a year for solar through a carbon fee
An Ohio city is raising roughly $100,000 each year for solar projects by charging a fee on carbon emissions. The revenue is directed toward expanding local solar power, offering a model other cities may follow. Coverage highlights how a modest local fee can fund clean energy without state or federal support.
