Cuyahoga County investigates 'offshore freshwater wind farm"

Siting wind turbines offshore from the Great Lakes region's major cities can make sense, and is preferable to throwing up on the shoreline more smokestacks for coal plants and cooling towers for nuclear power plants. Environmental advocates seem divided on offshore wind, but it's a good idea if aquatic habitat and aesthetic concerns are addressed. Putting them offshore from national or state parks, for example, would not be wise. The Great Lakes states need to zone the Great Lakes they hold in public trust to define what are not acceptable sites for an offshore wind farm -- instead of simply reacting to proposals.
