You don't have to be an engineer to create green jobs. You have to know how to create training and recruitment and look at your existing resources.

If we have the only great lake with clean water and most of the fish, then Lake Erie becomes the focal point of the sport fishing industry. We already have the best Walleye fishing in the country and Lake Erie yellow perch is a $50/plate delicacy in many parts of Europe. Through sport fishing tournaments, the sale of fishing licenses, lodging and the tourism the sport fishing industry attracts, the greater Cleveland area can potentially bring in close to $6 billion a year in revenue. How the filtration system works for the purposes of this site is relatively simple. We use plants to remove the phosphorous from the water before it enters the lake or any large body of water. There are many contaminants that plants will remove from the water to help make it pure, but there are some contaminants like heavy metals that plants do not remove from the water. For those contaminants we use the natural filtering organisms already found in Lake Erie, such as zebra mussels and catfish. A series of ponds with catfish and zebra mussels connected by streams, lined with plants, remove the pollution from the water. After each progressive stage the water gets cleaner and cleaner, and when it reaches Lake Erie the water is clean and healthy.

Maybe you do not comprehend that the glory days of GM, Ford and US Steel are now behind us. Maybe you believe that the demand for the buggy whip will never drop.. If the same behavior gives you the same result then why not stop repeating that same behavior Career politicians who have worked in government for their entire adult life will probably not lead this his area out of its economic slide.. My money is on the person with vision and real world experience. just my $.02 cents for the day. Peace!

Maybe you like a nice strawman.
