Toledo's doing it again -- looking to the future that is. The Blade has a story that an east side location is in the running for a wind turbine farm.
There is some concern about bird migration patterns. (Northern Ohio is a very important stop on the migration pattern of many species as Lake Erie lies to the north. I can personally attest to viewing at least a million piles of geese guano in my lifetime.)
But, overall, this looks like a good situation for Toledo.
And, hey, it's on the East Side! I grew up on the East Side. Well, technically I grew up in a suburb. But, it was an east side suburb and my parents grew up in east Toledo. And, I did live in my grandfather's old east side house when he moved out. For those few Toledoans who read this, the East Side is a great place. You should consider it more often.
Anyway, another future-oriented development in Toledo.
btw: Did you know that the Toledo-area is also home to an innovative solar panel company -- First Solar. Will we look to Toledo in the future as a Green Energy hot spot?

There is a push to try to capitalize on a growing industry whose importance will only grow, and I think that also may have been the suggestion of a study that was commissioned.
When you consider two other big players in the area, OC and OI, also stand to benefit from innovation in green energy, I could definitely see the Toledo area at least posturing itself to go in that direction. - Matt
