Ohio Schools Closed Amid Statewide Energy Shortage
Frigid weather and gas shortages forced many Ohio schools to close, affecting roughly half of the state’s 2.2 million students. Columbia Gas of Ohio and East Ohio Gas urged closures, with private and parochial schools and colleges largely also shutting down. Officials warned the crisis could ease only if energy demand drops, while industry and utilities cut back to protect residential supplies. The colder conditions set new city records, and manufacturers faced significant curtailments as plants operated under reduced gas usage.
