Lorain Ohio Windfarm site




I chose this site just offshore of Lorain, Ohio. I chose this site because of the strong SW wind component of Lake Erie. This wind is strong here year-round but especially in the winter when the West to East flow weather pattern is prevalent. This site does not effect shipping lanes of Lake Erie. It is offshore so noise and flickering effect are negated. It is far enough offshore that visual impact is limited. There is a railroad that passes through Lorain, so importing supplies is not a problem. I personally do not belive that Ornithology is a problem. Birds have a natural sense to move up and down to avoid objects such as windmills(just an opinion).
