| Ohio lawmakers pass renewable energy measure 
    
 April 28
 Ohio legislators have passed a bill requiring that the state generate 
    12.5 percent of its electricity from renewable sources by 2025.
 The bill, passed by both the state House and Senate, awaits Gov. Ted 
    Stricklandīs signature, which he is expected to give. Benchmarks call for 
    electricity generated by renewable energy to increase from 0.25 percent in 
    2009 to 12.5 percent in 2025.
 
 Twenty-five states and the District of Columbia have enacted mandatory 
    renewable energy standards.
