Withdraw ERO 013-3800
To get to this point was difficult and needs to be simplified.
This proposed regulation continues to revoke local municipal control over maintenance, future expansion or repowering. It allows the continuation of loss of municipality democratic rights.
Demand would need to be shown “only for the new capacity” again, taking away municpalities’ rights to protect their constituents. IF the provincial government is NOT going to protect the citizens of Ontario then municipal governments MUST be allowed the right to do so. Municipalities MUST have the right to review demand with a change of project ownership, repowering, noise levels etc. THIS is what was promised to the people. A reminder that the wind industry is the only energy industry not licensed and as such expeditious resolution of ALL complaints MUST be a condition of an annual license to operate. The onus MUST be on the developer (rather, as presently and will continue to be on the citizen) to prove prevention of serious and irreversible harm.
Note: The Nation Rise Wind project has a potential life span of 48 years. The North Stormont Municipal Council in a democratic society MUST have the right to review and control what happens in the community to protect the people, the water and the environment.
