energy development on Lake Erie."

Cleveland's history was forged at the dawn of the opening of the Midwest, the industrial revolution and the American automotive industry. Now, as the planet grapples with the frightening impact of the disruption of her delicate natural balance, we have an opportunity. May Northeastern Ohio recognize this critical moment in time and model what a region can do to harness the gentle sustainable energy of our natural endowments.
