I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like  a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.  - Winston Churchill

OUR MISSION: We educate, then urge the public and our lawmakers to evaluate the costs and benefits of wind energy aside from the hype; then to promote affordable, proven, reliable technologies while minimizing their scientifically proven environmental consequences.

BELIEVE IT: WIND POWER IS NOT A POTENTIAL REPLACEMENT FOR FOSSIL FUEL, AND WILL CONTRIBUTE TO AMERICAN POVERTY, NOT PROSPERITY.

"Wind can only be a supplementary energy source that requires a great deal of supplementation, for wind volatility must be tamed by pairing it with highly flexible conventional generators, working overtime, much in the way an automobile does when driven in city traffic. It also raises the ante for voltage regulation and transmission systems. Generating units that don't provide capacity value cannot be compared with those that do."

What do YOU KNOW about wind turbine safety? Take the poll:

How close to residential properties should industrial wind turbines be permitted in Ohio?
   Right up to the edge of the property is fine.
   Far enough back so if it falls over it can't fall onto the residential property.
   The manufacturers of the turbines know best - use their guidelines for worker safety (often 1600 ft).
   More than 1,600 ft. and up to 1/2 mile, depending on circumstances.
   More than 1/2 mile from residential properties.

THE BOTTOM LINE: Fear of foreign oil and a sweltering climate, justified or not, are no excuse for wasting big money on "solutions" that don't deliver.

Here is a list of respected technical sources verifying the truth about wind energy.

SAVE WESTERN OHIO IS:

- exposing how wind energy fails to materially reduce consumption of coal and oil, which, as a result, does not offset the negative consequences of traditional energy reliance.

- critiquing wind energy's claimed benefits, exposing questionable claims born of commercial greed.

- challenging elected officials who lavish the wind industry with subsidy and entitlements in disproportion to the benefits society measurably receives in return.

- calling for greater public transparency and accountability for businesses requiring long-term government subsidy.

 

SAVE WESTERN OHIO ASKS:

What is the real number of windmills that cleans our air of NOX SOX and CO2 and our water of mercury by just 1%?

How many oil tankers will be retired for every state who enacts and fulfills a "renewable energy portfolio standard?"

What number of windmills shortens the tour of duty of our young service men and women in the middle east by one day?

If the answers to these questions are not readily available from the wind industry, then the benefits they claim must be questioned.

Don't settle for quantities that sound big but have no reference to the total. Listen for percentage points and hard numbers!
