Group demands Suncor withdraw plan for wind farm

Group demands Suncor withdraw plan for wind farm | Local | News | Sarnia Observer:

A group opposed to industrial wind turbines in Plympton-Wyoming is calling on Suncor to “immediately” withdraw its plans for a wind farm in the community.

Chairperson Peter Aarssens made the demand Thursday in Camlachie, accompanied by the six other We’re Against Industrial Turbines - Plympton-Wyoming (WAIT -PW) board members.

Suncor has a provincial contract to sell electricity from up to 62 turbines it plans to build in Plympton-Wyoming and neighbouring Lambton Shores as part of its Cedar Point Wind Power Project.

“It is our expectation,” Aarssens said, “given the abundant and well reasoned opposition expressed by so many of our residents, that Suncor will withdraw their plans immediately.”

The company is holding public meetings about its wind farm on April 18, 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., at the Camlachie Community Centre, and April 19, 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., at the Legion hall in Forest.
