"Energy justice asks a simple but urgent question: who benefits from our energy system, and who bears the burden when it fails? For too many Ohioans, that burden shows up as unaffordable bills, unreliable service, unhealthy air, and limited access to clean energy tools that could lower costs and improve quality of life."

OEC AF Board member Brewster Rhoads, Southeast Ohio Regional Director Molly Jo Stanley, and Managing Director of Water Quality Doug Babcock were at the Ohio Rive Way in Ironton last week. There they had the opportunity to connect with partners and leaders who gathered to celebrate the incredible effort to restore, revitalize, and connect the Ohio River Way, the ecology, communities, and the economic vitality dependent upon this remarkable lifeway—now the state's 18th designated Water Trail.

Thank you to everyone who attended the Ohio Public Interest Environmental Conference last week! We spent the day learning from community and technical experts about the ways data centers are impacting Ohio communities. And we explored actions advocates can take to hold decision-makers and corporations accountable for data centers, especially when they don't consider the public interest. A special shout out to the law students who helped plan this year's conference!
