TEHACHAPI TURBINES ON - WHILE CLEVEHOGA "STUDIES"Submitted by Jeff Buster on Sun, 02/22/2009 - 16:08.
While Clevehoga is trying to measure the ice on Lake Erie (and the ice thickness which the"Task Force" is trying to measure is not even the critical or necessary measurement - it is pack ice, not floe ice, which is most apt to push over water based wind turbines) California and many other states are installing their second or third generations of improved wind turbines.
This is a photo of the northwest face of the wind gap at Tehachapi, California. Looks like the old oil patch doesn't it? These are Zond Corporation turbines - near two decades old and still cranking. Now this is Yankee Engineering...
Unbelievable!
Ten or more of these old machines are replaced by one new multi-megawatt turbine, improving output and diminishing visual impact.

CLEVEHOGA FIDDLES -
While the whole world burns up from global warming.
Thank you Jeff for your wonderful postings on what people in other states are doing in the renewable field, while we sit on our asses "studying". That is good for the multi-billion dollar academic institutions, but what about spending some of that $500 million from the Med Mart Con on some renewable energy jobs already, or do we need to spend years "studying" our unemployment sutuation too?
speaking of multi-billion dollar academic institutions
We now have a center of advanced windwashing...
Your tax dollars at work, creating another "Executive Director" greenwash job in unreal NEO... and the winner is... "president of the company's (BP) West Coast Fuels Marketing (ARCO) division"... yes, we have a gasoline saleswoman in charge of OUR taxpayer supported "Great Lakes Institute for Energy Innovation"
She/They are in charge of the "science" behind the $ billion we must spend to be the first in the world building windmills on Lake Erie, and the "Engineering" of the next generation of turbines that will make this region the world leaders in turbine manufacturing, as is the plan for here and many communities like us in the world.
At Case, of course... how much do you think this trophy job pays?!?!
How much does it cost taxpayers?
Add it to the Cleveland+"Green Jobs" spreadsheet!

why does have to go through the county prosecutors' office?
I noticed that when the lakefront site was proposed it was put up front that the Cuyahoga county prosecutor's office would somehow "steward" this project.
Does everything in this town involve a political boss? Doesn't Mason have his own problems with things like...oh...i don't know...open discovery, a county commissioner under investigation and a weirdo sheriff?
We have like seven fricking universities. One (BW) had a grad student pick a site out for the college's use already. Where's her input?
A study is needed, definitely. How are you going to keep humongous wind turbines from collapsing under Lake Erie 3' pack ice?
good question
Geez, I dunno, better call a prosecutor! Seriously how whack does that sound?
Now CWRU needs Energy Innovation and they hire a marketer of gasoline?
"Customer Focused Innovation"? Does that mean what you're looking for we'll find? You want long drawn out expensive studies? You got 'em.
If CWRU has expertise in wind energy, why haven't we seen any turbine projects from them yet? Beat to the punch by a grassroots nonprofit in Bowling Green?
Greenwash Cons
Notice how there is this centralization of greenwash power around Case... and it is being promoted through what I consider very false and misleading representations, like you point out above, and in the PD in general.
If their greenwash cons are as poor as the team assembled here to deliver the cons, we are in deep trouble.
Bye bye stimulus money... Obama is actully going to watch how all you fools spend his money!

Scroll to the top? Who owns this content? I am going to assume that Jeff Buster took the photo. But, a commercial site attributes the photo to:
