Author: Stacy, Tom
Even in countries like Germany where wind power is fully deployed across the nation, its contribution to base load power – the part coal serves – is well under 10% of the power that wind supplies, which is about 25% of its rated capacity.

Amendment of Jefferson Township Zoning Resolution
Author: Stolly, Terry; and Stacy, Tom
Rushcreek Township, Logan County, Ohio, has PASSED this zoning amendment regarding wind turbines. Jefferson Township, however, rejected it in favor of a weaker ordinance.
The amendment proposal was constructed in March 2007 by attorney Terry Stolly and citizen Tom Stacy both of Zanesfield, Ohio, and is based on Otsego County, Mich., and Cherry Valley, N.Y., ordinances already in place with special considerations specific to the specific Western Ohio landscape and demographics.
