Re: [EC] Fwd: How VA is Losing the Competition for Clean Energy Jobs : Virginia Chapter Sierra Club
PA has solar, MD has solar ands biomass OH has been working on this for years and has a Green Energy Ohio group.

I can put a list of projects, organizations, and politicians that are pushing this agenda. Might need someone to for a good write-up though. Can ask my wife, she is a excellent writer. Would take sometime though.
I believe this is a good idea that needs published on a wide format so everyone in our state can see the problems we have on clean energy and energy efficiency.
The big question is how far do we want to go? Do we want the schools listed? Some of the schools such as OU have positive aspects along with the fact they are now creating a composting facility for the whole city, to Oberlin being one of the top schools in the country for sustainability. Or maybe even list the LEED platinum facility that Hocking tech now host along with being a leader worldwide on fuel cell technologies and other programs they offer. Or would we want to look just at the solar sector and the fact that Ohio now host a 12 megawatt farm with another solar farm to come which will be one of the largest in the nation. Ohio also plays host to First Solar located in Toledo now employing 1500 people and sales about 80% of it's products to China. Or maybe we want to look at the Burger plant that burns a mixture of biomass and coal and will soon be all biomass. Or maybe the fact that Ohio has programs for the farmers to turn the manure into electricity, fertilizer, and Jiffy peat pots. The list is large, what do we want to focus on?

I'd love to see us put together a message that highlights all the clean energy projects and jobs in, say Ohio, and asking why not us?

Here is a fascinating approach to attracting attention to Green Energy. Why not West Virginia too?

You all might want to take a look at how the VA Chapter is garnering attention for their take on (unrealized) clean energy opportunities in Virginia.

Why don't we start trying to put together some kind of a side-by-side WV and OH?

I'm planning on getting a bill from OH that regulates gas drilling. The newspaper there said they will have inspectors at every site through all phases. They are also putting up a large solar farm.
