ENDORSEMENT FROM CHAIRMAN OF OHIO SENATE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMITTEE, SENATOR WILLIAM SEITZ:"​...Mr. Stacy has been an invaluable resource to me as Senate Public Utilities Committee Chairman. He knows as much or more about electric generation and the delicate interplay between federal, state, and regional transmission grid operator rules, than any paid utility lobbyist. He has devoted countless thousands of (unpaid) hours of his time to learning these issues and effectively advocating on behalf of rate payers, even when it demands the courage to tell the emperor he has no clothes. He has established a national-indeed, international-network of citizens and experts on these subjects. And our success in establishing the first statewide power siting law for wind energy facilities was just the beginning. That law has since been amended twice, at Tom Stacy's urging to keep up with the latest science. The underlying 2008 law ·mandating our utilities to derive 25% of their power from renewable and advanced sources of energy generation by 2025 was substantially revised in 2014, with the ardent advice and expertise that Tom Stacy brought to the table. The Ohio Chamber of Commerce, the National Federation of Independent Business, and the two organizations representing the state's largest energy users all supported the 2014 legislation on which Tom Stacy was such a critical adviser to me and my fellow legislators.Tom Stacy is dogged. He is wicked smart. He has courage. He has given selflessly of his time. He is a nationally known expert in these matters at least in conservative, pro-business quarters. He would be a tremendous asset to anyone who hired him, and there is no one in the United States who has more heavily influenced the state of Ohio's policy in respect to energy mandates and subsidies, and respect for the private property rights of persons adjacent to green energy generators, than Tom Stacy."
