Offshore wind energy is as close to the heartland as Lake Erie. The Lake Erie Energy Development Corporation (LEEDco) is creating news as they report on monumental wind energy that goes untapped just off the shores of Ohio’s Lake Erie. In comparison to European wind energy ventures, the US is not even in the running; however, LEEDco intends to change that by developing homegrown technologies and, of course, jobs growth that accompanies emerging industries.
