In the Cleveland area, politicians and businessmen have been pushing for years to build a wind farm in Lake Erie. But the project’s financing is up in the air,  and as WBEZ’s Chip Mitchell reports, state politics is tipping the balance toward hydrofracking, and away from what could be the first major offshore wind development in the Great Lakes.

<description><![CDATA[ (Nov 16, 2011) Drilling companies have been criticizing New York for delaying permits to drill for gas in the state’s underground shale formations.

She’s an advisor to the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, Texas.  Rogers spoke Tuesday night at Clarkson University, and earlier in the day with Julie Grant.
