Trouble Maker Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Interesting tidbit in there about the wind turbine. We will be buying a house next year, very likely in Columbus. I'd love to do some alternative energy to supplement in the future but I'm not sure about Columbus codes or laws on these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been some serious discussion about them on COS, and current cost of even small household ones doesnt seemto balance out long term costs, also, if you buy a house in collumbus unless its way tall, most neighborhoods will block enough of the wind to keep it from being efficient.

Cordell Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Good to hear the zoning had passed for the track to go in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before looking up codes or laws, go take a look at a map of wind patterns in central Ohio. The few turbines you see around town are nothing more than PR efforts. The nearest area with winds viable enough for turbines is along lake erie... A tiny stretch of land in Champaign county is very borderline. Aside from pro wind crap, when is construction/demolition at cooper park set to begin? Years out still? I'm way out of the loop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I had a rough idea that wind is probably not the answer in any city, let alone here. I'm just at the general idea stages; wind, solar, water catchment, etc. I just found it interesting that there are no codes governing this yet, and that some guy was trying to put up a 75' tall one near downtown.

mrs.cos Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 I think construction is set to begin in the spring. They were waiting for the zoning to go through if i recall correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
