The people of Toronto need to realize the turbine at Exhibition Place looks like a lawn ornament compared to the industrial turbines proposed for many parts of rural Ontario (they are 150 meters tall, newer models are getting bigger).

Furthermore, turbines in the distance are not the same as turbines up close. The people of this province need to understand there are people forced to leave their homes due to infrasound, shadow flicker, and sun flash on blades, amongst other complaints. Some are under gag order, so as not to expose the dirty side of this technology. This is happening in Canada, people. Unbelievable.

I’m not suggesting they are never appropriate, they do need to be sited carefully. The World Health Organization suggests much greater separation distances than those required in Ontario. The Government of Ontario has changed the rules under the Green Energy Act, to strip municipalities of any input. Rather than invest in “real research” the McGinty government is giving Ontario tax dollars to offshore companies, so they can produce expensive hydro. What’s going on here? The citizens of Ontario need to do their homework, instead of relying on the media to tell us what to think.
