As Trump actively works to harm the USPS and the right of all Americans to express their voice this November, I’m reminded of another time I came face-to-face with how communities are hurt by government inaction and lack of access to the post #SaveUSPS#SaveThePostOffice
Back in 2014, I was still a new-ish organizer with @SierraClub’s @OhioBeyondCoal team. The legal folks on our team alerted us that AEP, then owner of the Gavin coal plant, had filed with Ohio EPA (OEPA) to update Gavin’s water permit.

THREAD: With yesterday's bombshell news about Speaker Householder and friends, I thought it might be interesting to revisit some of Company A... err... FirstEnergy's earlier attempts to secure customer bailouts for its uneconomic coal and nuclear plants.
As complaint lays out, the 2016 financial prospects for FirstEnergy's nuclear plants--Davis-Besse and Perry--were grim. That's true but the prospects had already been bad for a while, at least at Davis-Besse (and the Sammis coal plant) and that led FE to look to the PUCO.
