Environmentalists say a new report shows Ohioans will spend more than $900 billion on fossil fuels during the next twenty years if major advances are not made in clean energy technologies.

Jeff Greenfield owns a company in southern Ohio that makes solar panels. He says what Ohio does right now to bring new energy technology to the state will determine what happens with the industry in the future.

Greenfield and other environmentalists say companies that make environmental products like solar panels and wind turbines are considering states in which to do business.
