No Wind Turbines for Ohio?

Texas to Construct Wind Turbine Lines, Why Not Ohio?
July 21





The Houston Chronicle Reported last week a divided Public Utility Commission gave preliminary approval today to construct $5 billion in transmission lines to bring wind power from West Texas to urban areas. The project is expected to cost average household consumers about $4 a month [and] should boost the state's wind farm business, already the largest in the nation, to even greater levels. It would increase capacity for wind generation to 18,456 megawatts. The plan, which is expected to be finalized later this month, is a middle ground between five scenarios ranging from $3 billion to $6.4 billion.

As the Green Party Write-In Candidate for Congress for Ohio’s 6th District, I again ask why Ohio is not at the forefront of such technology? We have the closed-down factories along the Ohio River Valley where such blue-collar hardware can be assembled. We have the work force to get the job done. Why don’t we? Because Charlie Wilson cannot see into the future and vision the Ohio River Valley as the Renewable Energy Manufacturing Giant of plants and factories just like when steel was king?

I will work hard in Congress to see Ohio is major players in renewable manufacturing jobs come January 2009.
