The proposed regulation to address transition rules related to the restoration of municipal planning authority resulting from the Planning Act amendments under the proposed Green Energy Repeal Act, 2018 does not address and resolve the negative impacts that people are experiencing due to wind turbines. To allow more turbines to be constructed and those in operation to continue operating when negative impacts have been reported for decades is unconscionable.

The full range of emissions from turbines has not been addressed in any of the previous regulations or proposed changes and transition rules.

A government that is charged with protecting the health and safety of its' citizens should be acknowledging the problems and putting an end to them--not adjusting regulations and transition rules to allow the injustice to continue, or shifting the responsibility to other levels of government.

Beyond the fact that negative impacts are being experienced by people and animals that are forced to live near turbines-- every citizen in Ontario is being negatively impacted. The turbines are unreliable and intermittent, so their contribution to our power supply is redundant, and as such the turbines are an unnecessary cost burden to everyone in this province.

Wind turbines have never made any economic sense, environmental sense, nor safety sense for Ontario. To create transitional rules to allow harm from wind turbines to continue to be inflicted upon Ontario is criminal.
