Anti wind turbine thread ?

Liars...both of them...

"WPD Canada and Capstone, the companies behind the wind power projects, say there is nothing to worry about, because the turbines are far enough from the temples and noise levels are well below the regulated maximum.
"There will be no sound generated at the site, and, because of the topography of the area, the hills and the trees, the visual impact is going to be reduced,'' said Kevin Surette, a spokesperson for WPD Canada

Local resident Ralph McKim agrees, adding concerns about the noise are exaggerated and the community is experiencing a ''clash of anxiety'' like never before.

McKim, 85, has agreed to lease his land to WPD Canada to install a wind turbine.
"If we are serious about climate change, we need to put these turbines somewhere,'' McKim said.


It looks like these may become a hunting issue, so maybe we should have an anti/protest wind turbine thread? Or OOD / OFAH start working with anti wind turbine coalitions? I could easily envision a 500m 'no hunting' zone established around every turbine.

Since you already have posted on the thread with that topic....http://www.oodmag.com/community/show...to-ban-hunting...which already has that link posted in it (#111)...one can only speculate as to why you have started this thread...

Maybe to help support continued hunting in wind farm zones? Maybe to stop further wind farm installations from possibly ruining farm country and rural areas? Maybe help support the few against corporate greed?

I was just asking. If there is no interest then so be it.

Hunters jumping into an anti-wind coalition would be counterproductive.

For the wind companies, it would make a great reason to include a ban on hunting in their agreements. The short-term battle over that, if won, wins them a long-term victory.

OK then.

Delta waterfowl is looking into the issue

Like I posted on the other thread...they may make the landowner liable for damage, forcing him to carry extra insurance...So that would mean the hunt clubs may have to pony up that cost as part of their lease/land use agreement with the farmer. Could be a game changer.

I asked my neighbor about hunting as he has 300 acres and 3 windmills on his property.

He told me when they drew up an agreement he made it so hunting will still be aloud....forever. He has a 20 year contract with it. He said he will cut them down if they ever tried to stop him. He deer hunts the property, I coyote hunt it pretty hard as he's got 1500 pigs keeping them around.

I should add he's the most hated man in this township. One of the first to get windmills....always has people dumping garbage and ripping up his fields. Not so much anymore but he was afraid to show his face for quite sometime after getting them 3 gigantic eye sores
