Ohio's industrial sector leading the way to a better tomorrow

When contemplating U.S. legislation to stabilize greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at a level that prevents dangerous consequences of global warming, the question that naturally comes to mind is, what can business do to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases?  The answer is that there is a range of practices available across the spectrum of business and industry to reduce greenhouse gases.  And the majority of these practices save money, while improving our nation's energy security.

In fact manufacturers, electric utilities and other major corporations have had proven success in adopting cleaner technologies and creating new business opportunities that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help secure our nation's energy future.  Success stories in Ohio cover a wide range of manufacturers and industries; including hybrid vehicles assembled at Honda's Ohio factories, Columbus based American Electric Power's efforts to sequester carbon deep into the ground, and new low-carbon economy jobs producing solar panels in Toledo.  And businesses and industry aren't the only ones who can benefit: there are many opportunities for municipal governments as well.

The key to Ohio acheiving maximum benefits from the emerging low-carbon economy is the adoption of a cap-and-trade system for emissions.  Learn more about this innovative approach to emissions controls through market based techniques and the positive effect it will have on Ohio's Tomorrow.
