Click here [1] to then click on NEW ENERGY and read the 83 page "task force" lake wind energy report - I haven't read it yet, and will comment on it I'm sure. I did notice that the title doesn't read "new energy JOBS".
I also noticed this statement on Page 11 "More importantly, the Task Force is aware of developer interest in an offshore Lake Erie wind farm". Is the tail wagging the dog? Is the preferred ventor already in the tent? Is so called "public process" just confirming the pre-chosen victor? Before I read the report, however, I will stick my neck out and commit to the following: the authors of the report, and the Force people behind the report, don't have the courage of real conviction that wind energy is the solution for future energy needs - If they had real conviction, they would have the courage to attempt to persuade their public that land based turbines - which can be implemented immediately - are the first and most practical goal. The committee is not so concerned with global warming or clean energy that it is willing to take on what they are really afraid of : namely NEO NIMBY’s in their ward or on their boards. For that reason, I see the choice of waiting to develop lake based machines first as a cop out…
