Notes on "Strickland: $40M investment for alternative energy"

The governor of Ohio, Ted Strickland, has stated the state will invest 40 million into alternative energy programs.

The point of this investment is to "further Ohio's green technology development."

In addition to the 40 million, there are other more modest programs that are being created to aid job creation and business growth.

The 40 million would be allocated to solar, wind and fuel cell development.

A quote of Ted Strickland's, "There will come a day when Ohio will be the undisputed home of advanced energy. A day when we cast off those two tired words that have been used to put us down: 'Rust Belt;' Because that's not who we are."

Strickland also supports a tax decrease for energy generation.

There was recently a new partnership between the Ohioan universities and Proctor & Gamble that is based on getting the products developed by the universities out faster to the market.
