WIND - START WITH NUTS AND BOLTS MANUFACTURED IN OHIO

 Here is where  Mr. Stuebi, Mr. Richards, The Cleveland Foundation, the Cuyahoga County Commissioners and NEO should start with their wind turbine aspirations.  Let’s organize NEO businesses and train NEO workers to competitively make the components for wind turbines.  Let’s start with the NUTS & BOLTS - not turbines on Lake Erie!

  The Dyson Corporation, of Painesville, Ohio http://www.dysoncorp.com/products.html [1] produced the bolts which secure this turbine tower to its foundation in the Maple Ridge Wind Farm near Watertown, New York.  There are over 200 turbines in the wind farm over rolling ex-dairy pasture.  Though the 1.65 megawatt turbines are produced in Europe by Vestas, at least Ohio was competitive enough to get a minor piece of the manufacturing pie.  Hat’s off to DYSON.
