Response #12 to "Strickland: $40M investment for alternative energy"

This article is significant because it shows that the state government of Ohio is seriously interested in developing its alternative energy sector. This is important for three reasons. The first being that if the state of Ohio invests in developing its alternative energy it will positively affect the climate. The second is that it will boosts Ohio's economy, maybe encouraging more investing into alternative energy. The third is the most significant. I look at the states that make up the US as having a sort of rivalry apparent in many things, especially evident in sports, so if one state starts to leave another behind in some regard including technologically or economically, I believe that will be a very strong reason for other states to invest in their own alternative energy sectors. And a country-wide investment into alternative is part of what is needed to stop or slow carbon emissions coming from our country. The world has shown it does not want a universal agreement on carbon emission reductions, so our country must become an example.
