The Ohio Power Siting Board approved construction of a proposed fracked gas power plant, which would be built right on Ohio State University's campus. but we can still stop the plant from being built. The next step to prevent a fracked gas plant from being built is to persuade new OSU President, Kristina Johnson, to support canceling the project.
Send a message to OSU President, Kristina Johnson urging her to cancel the proposed fracked gas plant on OSU's campus. Please take a moment to include a personal note about why it's important to you that OSU not build a fracked gas plant in the middle of campus.
Friday-Sunday October 2-4, starts tonight at 6pm
