While Bill Mason and Richard Stuebi and the Cuyahoga Energy "Task Force" have lunches in the Thompson Hine Key Center and talk about their "Study" of about 10 wind turbines about 3 miles out in Lake Erie off of Cleveland - turbine towers are being trucked NOW NOW NOW East on I90 through Ohio to installation locations where they will produce electricity TOMORROW, TOMORROW, TOMORROW.
But that's ok, because Cuyahoga has a well padded and vibrant economy - so we can afford to reach for the iconic lake wind MOON and let our more practical and hungrier neighbors put their money into the real thing.
Cuyahoga? Well, we’re sure to get there DOWN THE ROAD….and that will be soon enough for us…and anyway, CPPower and Cleveland City Council just signed up for 50 more years of coal fired juice from AMP - and AMP says wind isn't competitive because wind costs 2 million per megawatt - Right?
And we don't need to make those damn big metal things here either! (even if we knew how!) How do they drill all those little holes peaking out from under the blue tarp?
