Why Not Ohio? Let's Increase Production Of Renewable Electricity

[Rick Rowlands]

So generating electricity with renewables is twice as wasteful laborwise than traditional generation, meaning twice the labor costs to be passed to consumers which also means that your electric bill will go up.  Who in the Mahoning Valley has a bunch of extra money laying around to spend on higher electric bills?

Why Not Ohio? Let's Increase Production Of Renewable Electricity

Ohio needs to deploy it's abundant renewable energy sources, including wind, solar, biomass, and geothermal . We must grow the market for renewables. We should have an Ohio Governor whose's objective is to drive the price of renewable energy cheaper than traditional fossil-fuel based energy in the market, thus allowing an ending to finanical incentives.

Ted Strickland won't agree to this. He is backed too much by the dirty coal and nuke industry.

Renewable electricity creates more than twice as many jobs per unit of energy and per dollar invested than traditional fossil fuel-based electricity.

And electricity and heat account for more than 30 percent of all U.S. carbon emissions, a figure that can be drastically reduced by turning to low-carbon renewable energy.

Ted Strickland believes in a future of adding more dirty coal to Ohio's landscape. Ted Strickland thus does not believe in reducing carbon emissions, and thus does not believe you deserve a cleaner Ohio.

Ted Strickland does not deserve to be Governor after 2010.
