Well, it looks like some things are starting to go right as Cleveland seems to be moving ahead with plans to study the potential of creating just enough bureaucracy to possibly screw up any chance of Cleveland being first at something.I know, I am on a bitter streak lately, blame it on the cold weather.
It seems that the plan to put a 20 Megawatt windfarm on Lake Erie is moving ahead with major contributors already promising funds. Granted, the entire project will call for a lot of capital but it would be capital well spent. If Cleveland became the first major municipality to harness it's wind potential while creating the first fresh water wind farm and tying it to major industrial and educational institutions then things could surely turn around for our little burg. If the bureaucracy bungles it we could end up with another gigantic Cleveland joke.
How optimistic am I? Well, actually pretty dang optimistic, I just don't want to jinx the dang thing. I see a bright future with any city that figures out how to become a major center for alternative/renewable energy sources and decides to stake their economy on it. The way the wind is blowing, it seems like it can only be a good idea.
