With money from the Cleveland Foundation and other sources, GEO worked with the city in the summer of 2005 to erect a 165-foot-tall tower on the city's water intake crib. It's about 3½ miles off the downtown shore.
At 165 feet above the water, average winds registered at 16.4 mph.
That compares to average winds of 12.9 mph near Bowling Green, the only site in Ohio with commercial wind turbines.

Which is great, but is anyone yet setting policy on where they want Great Lakes wind turbines to be, and not to be? Some areas are fine for them; some should be off limits.
