    From Rustbelt to Windbelt Rally


    Green Jobs Rally
    Tuesday, April 22, 2008
    Great Lakes Science Center
    Gathered around the ol' Wind Turbine
    601 Erieside Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio
    4pm to 7pm

    What if our languishing manufacturing based was turned around to churn out wind turbines, solar cells, hydrogen electrolysis equipment, tidal power generators, heck even prefabricated building components? What if we as a region took advantage of our proximity to a shipping channel, highway infrastructure, workforce and to a rather large portion of the rest of the county (in terms of being declared a "local supplier for LEED points")? How about utilizing our many strong research colleges and institutions who are all interested in exciting new ideas to create a strong intellectual base for idea generation? What if we took advantage of our natural renewable resources such as wind and solar power to remove some of our burden on coal generation and nuclear plants?

    Seems like quite a bit of potential right there, eh?

    Come on out and join 10,000 Little Ideas to Believe in Cleveland in a public rally to show support to make Northeast Ohio a leader in Sustainable manufacturing and usage. If you time your day properly you can still make the slowLab lecture at Ideastream later in the evening.
