A Ship With Legs, Used For Erecting Wind Turbines

 

Rising from stormy seas, the giant turbine towers of an offshore wind farm seem almost miraculous to the untrained eye. But how do you put them there?

What can we learn, replicate, and continue to apply from this model to accelerate our economic development work here in NEO?

Cleveland+Cruelty to Animals

Submitted by Norm Roulet on Sat, 02/02/2008 - 23:15.

A page 1 article in the February 2, 2008, Cleveland Plain Dealer, "Dogged security guard caused quite the stir", makes light of international concern over a dog photographed sitting alone in the window of an abandoned, boarded-up house in Cleveland, with the caption "Dog Days: Left behind as foreclosure crisis pounds U.S.", which was published in the Toronto Star, leading to local action in Cleveland to rescue the distressed animal, which turned out to be imprisoned by real estate speculators to protect their shit. They don't even own the dog... the article doesn't care who owns the dog... the article is pointless, yet surfaces pathetic flaws in the character of so many in our region.

A Great Rant...

Submitted by Charles Frost on Tue, 01/29/2008 - 20:14.

Remember Lee Iacocca, the man who rescued Chrysler Corporation from its death throes? Her e is an excerpt from his new book.


"Am I the only guy in this country who's fed up with what's happening? Where the hell is our outrage? We should be screaming bloody murder. We've got a gang of clueless bozos steering our ship of state right over a cliff, we've got corporate gangsters stealing us blind, and we can't even clean up after a hurricane much less build a hybrid car. But instead of getting mad, everyone sits around and nods their heads when the politicians say, "Stay the course"

COFFEE RUN - PORT COLBURNE IN LATE JANUARY

Submitted by Jeff Buster on Mon, 01/28/2008 - 23:00.


 Having worked in the construction business for years, I got so I could tell when a Diesel was rev'd a little too high.

So here I was on the Welland Canal in late January asking - was it the ice breaking that was forcing the revs? - or was it time for a coffee break?

It was the Tim  Horton's  coffee!

Wind and Steel...

Submitted by Charles Frost on Mon, 01/28/2008 - 20:30.

I was just thinking about the fact that the steel industry here in Cleveland has been declining (okay dying) for decades, well, we do call ourselves a "rust-belt city, don't we....

.....and I was thinking about our possible future in terms of wind tower, turbine, blade, turbine housings, etc. manufacturing.
