It’s last Saturday night about 8PM and the place is bustling with the Chinese community coming to shop and eat. The Canadians have a lot to teach us about smart immigration policies.

Ed Morrison · Great Lakes Wind
October 7th, 2008

Although Michigan borders four Great Lakes and has the most offshore wind potential, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, is likely to beat it to the punch with a proposed wind farm in Lake Erie several miles from Cleveland.
Last week a task force chaired by the Cuyahoga County prosecutor released an installment in an ongoing $1 million feasibility study giving the project a green light on geologic and wind-potential grounds. If the study continues to yield positive findings, construction of two to 10 wind turbines and a research station could start in about two years.
