Film Transcript / Subtitles

As an engineer, I can't believe the people of Ohio will take a backward step and pass Issue 6. Issue 6 would ban future construction of nuclear power plants in Ohio. This would deprive us of a major source of electricity in the next few years and lead to power shortages. Ohio would lose industry, lose jobs, and electric costs would rise. Don't hurt Ohio. Don't hurt yourself. Vote no on Issue 6. Some battery battery is a closer. Come in. All happened to 500 m. There is no need to call it. You're welcome. I know your answer is even 6. Come in.
