Hello,
White Pines should not be shut down or dismantled.
Wind turbines do not pose a hazard to birds; bats; turtles; or any other wild life.
They bring useful energy to the grid and/or residents.
They bring wanted jobs.

Shutting down White Pines is just wrong. We need more sources of renewable energy, not fewer. With this action the Ontario PC government is acting irresponsibly in the face of overwhelming evidence of climate change.
It reflects badly on the Province of Ontario and indirectly on the Environmental Registry that the government of the day uses legislation and regulation to abrogate a signed contract for environmentally friendly power.
As a Citizen, I most strongly disapprove.
Please do not cancel the White Pines energy project.
Even if it's owned by a German company, the benefits to the province will be great.
It continues a legacy of foreign investment in the province.
It promote Green Energy sources which should be the direction all countries should take now.

It is soooooo wrong to take down this sustainable energy project. Have u seen the latest UN climate science report, telling us we have only 12 years left to get off fossil fuel use? Words like climate catastrophe and genocide are now being used. Scientists are starting to panick.

Hello,
Please do not remove the wind turbines from Prince Edward County.
The County needs the jobs.
We need wind resources to attract clean energy industry: i.e. hydrogen manufacturing.
Ontario will have to pay penalties to take them away.

The proposed closure of the White Pines Wind Project is incredibly short-sighted and takes Ontario backwards. Even if it saves money in the short run, there is no denying the massive economic consequences of climate change.

Hello,
We need to be doing more the save the environment. Cutting programs such as this is not a solution. Sure there needs to be improvements to the technology so there isn't any negative impacts to birds and bats. But you learn from making mistakes, you learn by taking a chance to fail.

It is very simple to close a project but very hard to build a new project. Many people are yet to realise the importance of obtaining energy from clean sources like wind and solar; and the whole world continues to produce energy polluting the air.

Many will have commented on the environmental issues pertaining to this cancellation. I would like to point out the shortsightedness of this action in light of present and future voters.

The White Pines Wind Project cannot fairly be terminated after the company who has built it has been working for 9 plus years under a legal contract. If Ontario is indeed "open for business", as Premier Ford claims, then he cannot sensibly cancel this project.

Please add my name to those who are troubled by the decision of the Ontario Conservative government to cancel support for initiatives aimed at dealing with carbon emissions and cli-mate change and to dismantle the White Pines Turbines in Prince Edward County.

As a long time resident of Milford who lives in the shadow of these majestic turbines I am simply outraged that the current government is considering their demolition !!

Please do not shut down the White Pines Wind Project. Wind power is important to sustainable energy in Ontario. The people of Ontario support wind power.
I am getting tired of the new Conservative government in Ontario saying it is working "for the people". You are doing the opposite. You need to work for all people of Ontario, not just your Conservative buddies!
