Across campus and under rainfall Thursday, Ohio State students protested the university’s plans for a natural gas power plant on the same day construction began.
About 50 students demanded Ohio State reevaluate its sustainability goals and invest in carbon capture, renewable energy, and communities impacted by fracking, according to a flyer for the protest. The demands also include the university apologize to students who have been “ignored, lied to and talked down to by OSU representatives for the plant.”
