There are wind­mills on Lake Erie. Eight of them, drink­ing in the full force of wind that blows east down the length of the lake. It’s strange, because green energy was once the pur­vey of lib­eral enclaves like Cal­i­for­nia and Scan­di­navia. Now wind­mills spin barely a mile from where the stacks of Beth­le­hem Steel once belched dark­ness and soot onto the Buf­falo landscape.
