There are a huge number in Bruce County south of Port Elgin. Right in the middle of one of the largest flyways in the province.

Looking at the Endangered Species Act, it says 9. (1) No person shall, (a) kill, harm, harass, capture or take a living member of a species that is listed on the Species at Risk in Ontario List as an extirpated, endangered or threatened species;

At no point does it state government can't. Funny that.

Futhermore, I think there is an exception in the Green Energy Act about endangered species. I guess it is ok to destroy an ecosystem to get more green power.

For many years we have had it driven into us just important the Oak Ridges Morraine is. It's only the life blood of area's north and south of its aquifers and more.

Like Chatham Kent, problems with ground water have already been detected.

Suppose feeding the beast and the wallets of many supersedes all that "save the environment stuff" billowing out of QP like so much hot gas.

We hunt coyotes around these things....they seem to like being around the turbines. No doubt cleaning up the incidental kill!

This information has been known for at least 10 years when my wife was working in the wind farm industry in Eastern Ontario.

Now isn't that interesting.

Ok let's look at the other side of the equation. How many animals have died from the coal plants we use to have, how much displacement has the hydro dams created. How about all the pollution that runs off the street and into Lake Ontario etc. What are you going to do with all the nuclear waste from the Bruce plant? I know a lot of you older right wingers hate progression but tough, deal with the fact that Green Energy is here forever.
