Ohio Looks To Embrace Alternative Energy Sources

6 September 2007 - 5:00am

Newly elected Gov. Ted Strickland (D) has made the pursuit of alternative energies a focus thus far in his tenure. Are the winds finally changing in Ohio?

"Gov. Ted Strickland last week revealed his energy plan, which sets a goal for 25 percent of the electricity sold in Ohio to come from alternative energies by 2025."

Much of this focus appears to be centered around wind power.

"In hopes of jump-starting more wind projects, the administration announced a $3 million grant for a project in Logan and Champaign counties and $2 million for more turbines at the AMP-Ohio site. Those two projects are expected to generate up to 149.5 megawatts of power."
