Got Mercury? Got Smog? Got Soot? Thank Ted Strickland

While some "progressive" blogs are hailing Governor Ted Strickland as the Green Power Governor because of his commiyment to 25% of renewable energy sources powering Ohio by 2025, Ted is still a friend and lover of DIRTY COAL.

Ted Strickland's energy policy thus calls for the remaining 75% of energy needs to come form nuke plants or building bigger and dirtier coal plants. Environment Ohio executive director Erin Bower notes that 87 percent of the state's electricity comes from burning coal, compared with a national average of 53 percent. Ohio is ranked fourth nationally in its contributions to the country's carbon dioxide emissions problem, Ohio ranks second nationally in the amount of those emissions coming from coal-fired power plants.Bower has also commented that "The important thing is that the Legislature and our governor really listen to Ohioans across the state who are clamoring for alternatives to being so dependent on fossil fuels, which are putting Ohio at the top of the list for mercury pollution and smog and soot pollution," she said.

The facts are Ted Strickland will never move fast enough or massive enough on clean renewable energies. He is powered and manipulated by nuke and coal lobbyists and will continue to be if elected to a second term as Governor.
