Ohio Supreme Court decision gives green light to Icebreaker

Season 2022 Episode 32 | 26m 46s

The Ohio Supreme Court issued a ruling Wednesday that greenlights the first-ever wind farm on the Great Lakes known as Icebreaker. In a 6-1 decision, the court ruled that the Ohio Siting Board appropriately granted the permit to construct the turbines which will be based about 8 to 10 miles off shore from Cleveland in Lake Erie. Residents challenged the permit over concerns for birds and bats.
