PROTECT US FROM HUGE TURBINES
The provincial government, led by Premier Dalton McGuinty, is about to change the landscape of Ontario forever, by setting and announcing new regulations for wind tubine installations. History shows that Premier Dalton McGuinty and his Ministers of Energy, Mr. Smitherman and the Environment, Mr. Gerretsen have completely ignored and entirely abandoned constituents from far and wide in this province who have been, and continue to be, harmed by these . . .

Wind company spends $1.75 million to buy out and gag its victims
Letter to the Presidents of Canadian Veterans Associations
… Last summer, a tourist bus filled with Canadian visitors stopped at the Canadian monument erected in memory of the British Columbia Regiment, which is located on a hill called “Cote 111” belonging to the village of Rouvres. To the west of the plain is the Canadian military cemetery at Cintheaux/Bretteville-sur-Laize where Major Styffe is buried alongside 3 000 of his comrades.
They were surprised and shocked to see 8 windmills turning and flashing at 10 kilometers to the north . . .
Wind turbine victims support group formed
Victims of Wind, VOW, is forming a support group for victims who are experiencing adverse health effects from wind turbine complexes.
The purpose of VOW is to establish a network of victims suffering adverse health effects due to wind turbine complexes to provide mutual support for victims.

2. No large wind energy turbine shall be erected closer than 2,000 meters or 15 times its total height, whichever is greater, from a residence, school, place of business, or health care facility.

Is wind power really green? Preserve Grey Highlands ad
Is wind power really green?
Examine the facts, then decide for yourself.
Denmark is the world’s most wind-intensive nation with more than 6,000 turbines generating 19% of its electricity. But consider this:
Not one fossil fuel power plant has been closed
50% more coal-generated electricity is needed to cover wind’s failings
Pollution and carbon dioxide emissions rose 36% in 2006 alone
Danish electricity costs are the highest in Europe
So what are the Danes saying about wind power now?
“Windmills are a mistake and economically make no sense.” . . .
