The Bruce Peninsula - Wind Farm Realities

More graphics of proposed industrial wind turbine locations from Wind Farm Realities.

The Bruce Peninsula - Wind Farm Realities:
I recently posted about the eastern shore of Lake Huron and how a line of wind turbines roughly 20km deep snaked all the way up that coast. Unfortunately the snake doesn’t end there; it continues onto the Bruce Peninsula. Here’s a snapshot of the 200 turbines planned.

You’d think an area as unspoiled and scenic as the Bruce Peninsula would be safe from this type of industrialization.  You can imagine what would happen if just about any other industry set up shop over this large an area.  There are actually 2 projects included in the picture above:  Bruce Peninsula and Mar Silver Birch (or something like that).   One wonders how much of a transmission line will have to be built to carry it all to where people actually live and work.

The rest of this post is at The Wind Farm Realities Site, as are Google Earth files, freely downloadable, for many regions in Ontario.

  1. Absolutely sickening as to what rural Ontario is going to look like once the IWT part of the Green Energy Act continues to roll out. And urban folks don’t get it... all they can see is their concept that it must be wonderful because it is replacing that dirty old coal.

    Here’s an idea...... how about a couple thousand rural residents show up at one of the Toronto public areas along the beach like Exhibition Place or Marilyn Bell Park. Each person brings a slapped together mock up of an IWT say 12 feet high made out of 2 x 2s that can be self supported on the ground. Each one has a note on it that says, “Hey Toronto... how would you like it if your city had 10,000 of these right here along the lakefront and they were 500 feet high? Still like the idea of ‘green energy’?” Make sure that lots of media coverage was available to see the demonstration... surely one of them would put the picture on their front page (well, knowing the leftwing media probably not but at least lots of citizens would be forced to THINK for a change).
