Why Wind
Wind is an inexhaustable energy resource that can be homegrown. Positive effects on Ohio's economic development combined with minimal negative effects on our environment makes wind the right choice.

Why Ohio
Ohio has even greater wind potential than researchers initially believed; we rank 2nd in the country in polluting our air, water and land; and we have an abundance of untapped manufacturing potential that wind power could help to harness.

Why Now
Despite our high ranking in the pollution category and high wind potential, Ohio remains behind many other states in developing renewable energy. We are still importing almost all of Ohio's energy instead of keeping those dollars and jobs here at home – jobs that are desperately needed.
