"Ohio is the fourth largest producer of global warming emissions among all the states," with per capita emissions nearly "19 percent higher than the national average." [ 3 ] This is "mainly because 87 percent of Ohio's electricity comes from coal-fired power plants (compared with the national average of 50 percent)."
Wind turbines have some of the lowest global warming potential per unit of electricity generated: far less greenhouse gas is emitted than for the average unit of electricity, so wind power helps limit climate change. [3] Wind power consumes no fuel, and emits no air pollution, unlike fossil fuel power sources. The energy consumed to manufacture ...
[3] [4] There has been a sudden increase in generating capacity, as the total wind power capacity in the state was just 9.7 MW in 2010. [5] Ohio's first large wind farm, Timber Road II near Payne in northwest Ohio, opened on October 6, 2011. [6] [7] It was surpassed in June 2012 by the 304 MW Blue Creek Wind Farm. [8]
"The effect will be long-lasting," said Ty Higgins, director of communications for the Ohio Farm Bureau. Of the Buckeye State's 88 counties, 87 were highlighted as parched when the U.S. Drought ...

The Bradford pear makes a beautiful sight for fall-lovers, but they're invasive in Ohio and illegal to plant, grow and sell. Here's why. One of the best trees for fall foliage is actually banned ...
The effects of climate change on plant biodiversity can be predicted by using various models, for example bioclimatic models. [5] [6] Habitats may change due to climate change. This can cause non-native plants and pests to impact native vegetation diversity. [7]
The NWS has issued a lake-effect snow warning for seven Northeast Ohio counties--Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Portage, Summit and Trumbull--from 4 p.m. Wednesday to 4 a.m. Friday as a strong arctic ...
