"Hard Hatted Women supports the initiatives of
Windustrious Cleveland in the movement to ensure that Ohioans have
access to a clean environment, good jobs, and equitable development
through wind production. Movement towards implementing a wind turbine
supply chain and all critical components related to creating the
off-shore wind farm need to be a priority not only for the region, but
for Ohio.
As an organization that works to create economic
self-sufficiency for women, Hard Hatted Women applauds the efforts of
Windustrious Cleveland and its supporters. The jobs that would be
created by developing a wind farm in areas such as the construction,
maintenance and operation of such green energy production options would
provide women with a multitude of nontraditional career options. Because
women continue to live in poverty at rates that exceed those for their
male counterparts, access to high-wage, high growth careers are of critical importance.
By
increasing the wages and benefits to workers through green jobs,
especially when they are unionized, workers and their families move out
of poverty and contribute to the economic stability of a region. Linking
women to advanced energy manufacturing, production, operation and
maintenance careers is essential to impact not only the status of women
and their families, but of the health and wealth being of our
communities. For all of these reasons, Hard Hatted Women is a strong
supporter of the initiative of Windustrious Cleveland."

"Great Lakes Wind Network is an industry-led group of companies
working together to grow the wind industry supply chain in this region.
As we succeed, we create new manufacturing jobs,
we speed supplies of wind turbine components for waiting projects,
and someday we'll be assembling wind turbines themselves.
The Windustrious web site is a wonderful calling card."

"Our reliance on non-renewable resources to help power

"As someone who grew up in the Cleveland area,
I applaud your efforts to bring

It will be an economic engine for the

"As nonrenewable resources such as coal
and gas diminish more rapidly
as population and demand increases,
we are foolish to refuse another of Mother

generations sustain ourselves."
