SouthPoint Wind is back…

This time they want to put 180 industrial wind turbines in Pigeon Bay just 1-2 km off the shorelines of Kingsville and Leamington in Lake Erie.

I’m a nimby and proud of it.

There’s a reason why people don’t want these monsters in our backyards and the Provincial Government of Ontario knows it. Instead of environmental assessments and health studies, they passes the anti-democratic Green Energy Act to force green energy projects into communities.

Unfortunately the real green is the color of the money being promised to developers with feed-in tariffs that guaranteed them a fixed rate for the next 20 years… $0.13/kWh for land projects and $0.19/kWh for offshore projects.   It’s no wonder SouthPoint Wind wants to ravage our lakes will their greed.

Since we only pay $0.06/kWh right now in Ontario, you can easily see how this will bankrupt us all.
