Chris McWhinney, president of Dayton-based Millennium Reign Energy (residential hydrogenpower.com), has developed a line of hydrolysis machines that can utilize solar or wind power to generate hydrogen. Applications for these generators range from home and commercial use to smaller teaching units already in place at many high schools and universities. Plans include service stations to fuel hydrogen-powered cars.

Ohio is working hard to provide the right combination of incentives and tools to make the renewable energy industry sustainable. Ohio has a skilled workforce and many underutilized manufacturing facilities ready to go to work in the new green economy.

Green Energy Ohio (GEO; greenenergyohio. org), the state’s American Solar Energy Society chapter, celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. Through the hard work of Executive Director Bill Spratley and his staff, GEO has spread the word about the benefits of renewable energy throughout Ohio. Their work touches every segment of the state, including government, schools, industry and other nonprofits. The 2009 Ohio Solar Tour was a great success, and many communities are already planning for the 2010 tour.

Other nonprofits are making a big difference. One example is the Greater Cincinnati Energy Alliance ( greatercea.org). Started by Andy Holzhauser, the alliance is dedicated to helping Cincinnati communities reduce energy costs, educate the public and create jobs.
