The Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station on Lake Erie is one of two nuclear power plants saved by a nuclear bailout in Ohio.
A Franklin County judge has granted a preliminary injunction that blocks the owner of Ohio s two nuclear power plants from collecting fees as part of HB6, the controversial bailout law at the center of a federal racketeering investigation.
At a hearing Monday, Franklin County Court of Common Pleas Judge Chris Brown granted a preliminary injunction to halt Energy Harbor, formerly known as FirstEnergy Solutions, from collecting increased fees from ratepayers. To not impose an injunction would be to allow certain parties to prevail, Brown said. It would give the O.K. that bribery is allowed in the state of Ohio and that any ill-gotten gains can be received.
