Electric bills rise as coal strike tightens Ohio power
Ohio utilities face higher fuel costs from emergency oil purchases amid a coal strike. Gov Rhodes urged an end to the strike while Public Utilities Commission officials warned of steeper fuel adjustment charges. Ohio Edison says February bills are up about 10 percent and future bills may rise further due to out of state purchases and reduced coal supply. Conservation urged to curb costs as talks continue.
