Clean, renewable energy sources — especially wind — have been generating headlines in Northeast Ohio. There is growing appreciation that renewables are not only practical, cost-effective energy alternatives, but their development could boost the Ohio economy by creating manufacturing jobs.
This section will track the exciting projects that are promoting renewable energy.

Wood the Renewable Energy
David Miller Says:Looking for a net reduction in greenhouse gas emissions? Heat your home with wood. One of the best bio-mass renewable energy sources is wood. Heating your home with your fireplace or wood burning stove is “Green Friendly”. When we burn fossil fuels like oil, gas or coal we are emitting carbon that has been buried for thousands of years into the atmosphere. By increasing the carbon released we create an atmospheric concentration of carbon monoxide, thus the greenhouse effect.
Yes burning wood releases carbon into the atmosphere but so does the decaying when it is left to rot on the forest floor. Carbon makes up half the weight or wood. Wither the wood is burned or decays this carbon is still released into the atmosphere and is part of the natural cycle. As trees grow and mature they absorb the carbon in the air and use it to build into their carbon structure. Continue Article
