Now if the people of Essex County would read your blog I’m sure they would be alarmed on just how bad wind turbines are and how much it’s going to cost us.The Ontario Government has not told us the truth about wind turbines and how much they pay to subsidize the operation on how poorly they supply power.

Last July, CanWEA (Canadian Wind Energy Association) Vice President of Policy Sean Whittaker says there’s nothing wrong with a little healthy cynicism; it keeps developers honest. In the end, the truth will always out, he says. – From Renew Magazine July 2008

Looks like you got the truth out, John, because CANWEA is not denying your data.

Anne Mometer, (clever)

Your phoney name is wise, but you’re insult doesn’t make sense…

I’m glad you agree that Toronto Hydro Energy Services should forget putting turbines offshore.

I am mildly alarmed though that you think wind without turbines is able to produce usable power. I hope you’re in the process of patenting just how this works.

I would expect the exhale of an adult male would provide superior wind speed, strength and consistency to the proposed site and think it’s wonderful that you agree.

In all seriousness, this is a project without merit and if the best you can come up with to respond is a snide comment, you merely prove the point. I am attacking the project, you’re attacking me.

Hey John,

Forget the turbines, they should just put you offshore because with all the wind you’re generating you could power this whole province!

The commments about Toronto Hydro hold true for Canadian Hydro as well. The viability of industrial scale wind projects would be laughable if it wasn’t for our tax and electricity bill money paying for a lot of it.
Add to that lunacy the people suffering health effects of turbines in silence because wind companies and government deny there is any problem with that as well.
