Akron-based FirstEnergy Corp.'s customers in Ohio would pay higher rates under a proposed bailout for the state's two nuclear plants, the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station in Oak Harbor, Ohio, and the Perry Nuclear Power Plant in Perry, Ohio. The aging plants provide jobs and make 14 percent of Ohio's electricity, but face stiff competition from cheaper natural gas plants. (AP Photo/Mark Duncan, File)
