WHEN NO PROGRESS IS THE GOAL

cleveland vacant building ripped curtains blowing out window

In November 2003 the first 2 Vestus wind turbines [1] went up in Bowling Green, Ohio.

More than 5 years later Cuyahoga has nothing to show for itself - except "study" and DELAY.

Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Bill Mason and the Cleveland Foundation are running the show for Cuyahoga - researching the ice thickness now by the water intake crib off Cleveland.

But is their $20,000 ultrasound device even the right test? [2]

While Cuyahoga County crumbles (the building above is a common sight all over the City of Cleveland and elsewhere in the County) and payrolls continue to shrink - it is criminal to "study" the ephemeral wind on the lake instead of putting the million "study" dollars into actual wind energy manufacturing jobs - or better yet - into construction of on land wind turbines.
