Ohioans learned about cheap, reliable solar power at @thirdactorg.bsky.social Sun Day events all across Ohio.
Solar is cheaper & reliable; there's no need to frack Ohio state parks and public lands for gas and oil!

We're celebrating #SunDay2025 in CLE on this solstice because #solarpower is the fastest growing, cheapest energy source worldwide. U.S. federal solar power rebates continue through December 31st for homeowners, but last longer for communities, businesses and nonprofits. @thirdactorg.bsky.social
