Cottage country studies wind power
Madawaska Valley Councillors will go on “a tour” to investigate how wind turbine operations affect communities.
A controversy is flaring in the area over proposals to erect several wind turbine farms. One of the proposals would see six of the massive turbines built in the hills outside Wilno, Ont. and it has spawned a well-organized opposition movement called SOS, or Save Our Skyline.
Mayor John Hildebrandt, who has spoken in support of wind power, said the tour would likely take place in the third week of September.
