The OPSB initially approved the Oak Run Solar Project in March 2024, but the case has since been bogged down by an appeal filed by Madison County and three of its townships.

    Read excerpt

    This story was originally published by Canary Media. Steel giant Cleveland-Cliffs was supposed to use up to $500 million from a Biden administration grant to usher in cleaner steelmaking in southwestern Ohio. Now, the company plans to instead put those funds toward a project that locks in old coal-based tech for decades and amps up local air pollution.
