Jojo wilczewski Posted September 19, 2019 Report Posted September 19, 2019 BOARD MEMBER Big can of WORMS by jojo wilczewski BOARD MEMBER Goodday i was wondering what everyone thought of the wind turbines on lake eria They are saying there will be environmental harm to the fishery. i don’t see it. i do see the turbines but not as an eyesore. i do see clean free power that will lessen our dependence on foreign oil, and power. there will be some harm due to oil leakage and bases being built. the freighter leak oil, crate junk ( habitat) in the bottom of the lake and bring in evasive species. Nobody complains about skyscrapers or grain mills which to me are just as much an eye sore. lets built American independence and keep American dollars in America please post your opinion in comments jojoworkingfortomorrow
Locoman Posted September 19, 2019 Report Posted September 19, 2019 My opinion, JoJo you're a no go. Wind turbines DO NOT belong in Lake Erie. They are a bad enough eyesore on land. What qualifies you to state there will be no harm to the fishery? 1

Diversion Posted September 19, 2019 Report Posted September 19, 2019 Putting them in the lake would require building their bases in the lake. That will disrupt and stir up all kinds of nasty toxic stuff that has settled over many years and is now under layers of sediment on the lake bottom. All those chemicals will then be back in our drinking water. That point in itself should be more than enough to say no way to wind turbines in the lake.

Thanks for the reply Jojoworkingfortomorrow Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Mobile App Freighters come and go, turbines would be permanent. Some invasive species have not been as harmful as first thought. Perch, walleye, and bass are eating them up. You cannot compare the Gulf in any way to the Great Lakes system. Wayyyy different. Our dependence on foreign power is at an all time low thanks to our President. Right now the US is the number one producer of oil in the whole wide world. Diversion is right on with his post.
gbill512 Posted September 19, 2019 Report Posted September 19, 2019 JoJo,There are already 13 (2.5 MW) windmills on the old steel plant property.This question is for everyone who is out on the lake fishing.How many out of the 13 do yo see turning?Maybe six?The rest of them Do Not work.That's because the company just walked away from them.That's because of the dirty language that's in the windmill laws: allowing the company's to walk away after 10 years, leaving the responsibility to the property owners.Let the fatcats of government handouts (like Musk) repair the units that are already here before we discuss more.The grid infrastructure is also already there.What about the quarter mile radius around each structure that will be offlimits to boaters.BAD idea Jo.Sent from my XT1710-02 using Lake Erie United Mobile App 1
jimski2 Posted September 20, 2019 Report Posted September 20, 2019 Canada has installed thousands of windmills on the near shore of all the Great Lakes there. They are years ahead of the USA. Fresh water lakes in a good blow will fall over due too icings. Just take a look on the Canadian shoreline at night, those red lights are wind mills. The local government receives taxes from them, not the downstate politicians.Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Mobile App

It's all about the benjamins baby!!!!!
jimski2 Posted September 22, 2019 Report Posted September 22, 2019 Fly from Buffalo to Detroit. You will see windmills by the thousands, but zero in the Lake. But politicians in Ohio are planning on changing this off Cleveland.Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Mobile App
lineman49 Posted September 22, 2019 Report Posted September 22, 2019 We don't want or need windmills in the great lakes! If King Andy wants them let him put them in the Long Island sound & the ocean!
Looney Tunes Posted April 1, 2022 Report Posted April 1, 2022 My opinion, Wind turbines DO NOT belong in Lake Erie. They are a bad enough eyesore on land. What qualifies you to state there will be no harm to the fishery. They do not qualify for a tax deduction. A big joke.
Jimdski Posted July 30, 2022 Report Posted July 30, 2022 After last weeks lightning show, really how could those towers survive? Soon the water spout season will resume and will the towers survive those winds?
gbill512 Posted July 31, 2022 Report Posted July 31, 2022 Left wing lunatics don't care about results. They just care about good intentions. How can you question intentions?
Looney Tunes Posted July 31, 2022 Report Posted July 31, 2022 If you look at the monetary issues with windmills their is no winning!
Jimdski Posted January 31 Report Posted January 31 There are many farms and land owners will beg for windmills and solar farms on their property, the revenues are greater than milking cows.
ciscokid Posted February 12 Report Posted February 12 WHO DO YOU WORK FOR? YOU SOUND LIKE A PAID WINDMILL ACTIVIST!! WINDMILL PROJECTS ARE BEING CANCELLED AND THEY DO CREATE RECYCLING ISSUES!!! 1
Jimdski Posted April 15 Report Posted April 15 Lightning strikes at three thousand degree heat will burn the insulation off the generators and wiring. Living on the lake shore for thirty years now I have watched thousands of lightning strikes for years now. Who will pay for the repairs on the water sites. At least landside installations are accessible for repairs and ther are hundreds of empty hilltops available with high winds.
lineman49 Posted April 15 Report Posted April 15 We don't need or want inefficient wind turbines in our lake at all !!
Jimdski Posted May 1 Report Posted May 1 Lake Freighters are now receiving summons for discharging oil contaminant bilge water.
Jimdski Posted May 2 Report Posted May 2 A lot of local workers are employed building windmills on shore here. Landowners receive revenue from onshore windmills . Offshore windmills create nonaccess to boaters. Repairs and maintenance costs are extreme with off shore windmills.
Jimdski Posted May 2 Report Posted May 2 Albany politicians forget about about local residents unless they can bleed local revenues to Albany.
