Political sciences’ Joshua Basseches questions privatization of Ohio utility company AES

Data center investors want to buy Ohio’s public utilities

cleveland.com: Joshua Basseches, assistant professor of political science at the College of Arts and Sciences, said the public should feel troubled by data center investor BlackRock's attempt to purchase the public utility company AES and privatize it. “We’re going to know even less about what is going on at precisely the time when everyone is talking about electricity bills,” Basseches said. “It strikes me as not a good time to have less transparency.”
