A growing chorus of critics says the provincial government needs to be more up front about proposals for wind energy projects across Ontario.
Sault Ste. Marie MP Tony Martin will hold a press conference Friday calling for a public hearing into plans for wind turbines that could one day be planted in Lake Superior. Martin was contacted by a group of area residents last month about windmills rumoured for Alona Bay, and wrote to the local Ministry of Natural Resources office with their inquiries. What he heard back last Thursday made him “apoplectic,” he says.
“It’s quite alarming,” he said. “It blew me away that they are actually thinking of putting these things out on the water. What impact will that have on the lake? We have no idea until we do some significant research.”
Confederation Power posted a small “notice of proposal” in The Sault Star last week about the Goulais Wind Farm.
They invite comments at : Confederation Power Inc., 1400-95 Wellington St. W., Toronto, ON M5J 2N7; online at www.confedpower.com/projects/goulais; by phone at (416) 640-5574; or e-mail goulais.info@ confedpower. co m.
A spokesperson with OPA did not respond to a call for comment Wednesday afternoon.
