This is a doozie.
Proposed to be tossed up in the Bon Echo region... if successful will be one of Canada's largest wind farms.

Funny.
I drove from my cottage near Arden up 41 to Pembroke this weekend and saw tons of signs protesting this one.
Fighting is both futile and expensive. This government owes the wind farm industry and has a majority. Nothing can be done. Get used to it there will be many more go up. Interestingly you never hear about them being planned for the Lake Ontario lakeshore? They could line them up from Oshawa to Niagara and have them close to the highest power consumers and next to what is likely the best source of reliable wind being Lake Ontario. I wonder why that isn't part of the plan? :ninja: Ontario had a chance to stop this scandal last election but gave it the "big thumbs up" by not only reelecting her but giving her a crushing majority mandate. Live with it, nothing can be done and with the electoral laws now in her power the Libranos will likely rule for at least 12 more years.
Is it futile? I've heard there's been a number of these projects that have been forced to shut down across ON. The only one that i pledged to fight was the Foymount, ON one... and as far as i know it was beaten.Quote:

If a wind or solar farm is under wide-spread protest in a Liberal riding,more than likely,it will be abandoned. Politicians ignore potential votes at their peril.Quote:
