Exeter Times-Advocate - Editorial: Blowin' in the wind

A powerful editorial in the Exeter Times-Advocate follows presentations done in Grand Bend recently.
 The editorial specifically noted the work of the Middlesex-Lambton Wind Action Group in presenting a "well-organized, informative meeting"

Exeter Times-Advocate - Editorial:
Based on letters in this week’s and last week’s Times-Advocate, and very strong attendance at an information meeting in Grand Bend last week, we can safely say the hot topic of the day for our area is wind turbines.

And you can expect the debate will get even hotter in the upcoming months and years as the several large-scale industrial wind turbine farms planned for the region come closer to fruition.
It seems to us that the more people learn about wind turbines and the closer these projects come to reality, the less people want them. The concerns are many, and are detailed elsewhere in this week’s newspaper, but chief among them are the impacts on the health of those who live near turbines, what wind energy will do to our hydro bills and our economy, how they will affect wildlife and how property values will be impacted.

These are not small concerns ? these are major items.
