Industries ready to ride the wind
Today's Akron Beacon Journal has a story about Ohio's growing wind energy industry. From the article:
Ohio actively is organizing and promoting its wind-power supply chain, which includes 170 companies that make bearings, fasteners, control systems, composites, gear boxes, brakes, generators, metal coatings, gears, hydraulics, sensors and electronics needed to manufacture the 8,000 components found in a typical utility-size wind turbine.
...
Ohio is facing ''a big opportunity on the manufacturing side, and supplying the wind industry can help Ohio companies transition from the auto industry to something new,'' Gov. Ted Strickland said.
Ohio's wind-power potential is ''very good for our state and very good for our economy,'' he said.
