With approximately 300,000 turbines installed globally, and having proof of the benefits, it's a disgrace to put a stop to the 4 turbines in Prince Edward County. Shame on you to waste all the money spend already, and close the White Pines Wind Project. I urge you to let common sense prevail.
As an Ontarian, I find this new regulation embarassing. I teach Environmental Science in our schools and this proposal goes against what science is observing - rapid environmental degradation due to our energy use and consumption.

My view is that the government needs a face saving way to walk this decision back and I have 3 points in that regard:
1. The recent IESO prediction that we will soon be short of generation capacity calls for the need for new generation being constructed.

The Conservative government spent years criticizing the former Liberal government for wasting hundreds of millions in tax payer money to move two gas plants.

Our family lives within walking distance of the wind farm and have followed it every step of the way for the past 10 years. The public was given numerous opportunities for consultation and appeal on this project. The protests against it were addressed and none met even the legal case to cancel it.

This will have such a negative effect on any future business investment in Prince Edward County where we live. If the province is really “open for business” they will reconsider their decision to rescind the White Pines Wind Project.

This project near our Milford home, in its original REA application, consisted of 29 turbines. That would have produced enough electricity to power approximately 9,683 homes each year- almost the total number of homes in Prince Edward County. The 9 turbine project would power about 3,005 homes .

I am a resident of Prince Edward County. While I support researching/utilizing alternative energy sources, the way in which White Pines conducted their business in The County is/was totally unacceptable.

It' s a very sad situation when our leaders,that we have voted for, to speak for us ,and to listen to us tend to choose to turn their backs on us when they here something that they personally don,t agree with.

Keep this project as it contribute to a clean energy and is a clean renewable source of energy. Taxpayers already spent money building it, we should keep it.
There are many countries in the world who have made the public declaration and timed commitment to be free of fossil fuel electricity generation methods. Wind turbine methods of generation figure prominently as a component to meeting these commitments.

Strongly oppose this move by the Ontario government. It is reminiscent of Donald Trump's dismantling of the EPA and all Ontarians should be concerned about this government's lack of commitment to effective environmental policy. The jobs lost and contracts broken are also concerning.
The shutting down of the project is short sighted, fiscally irresponsible and environmentally unsound. The Ontario government should be pursuing every opportunity to use renewable energy. It is the for the betterment of our province and the world.

Wind is a safe form of electricity generation, Wind is installed everywhere around the world. More and more folks are realizing that this is a healthier, more sustainable form of energy creation. Why are we going here in Ontario?

The shutting down of the White Pines Wind Project is wasteful and very short-sighted. This province and country need to wake up To the need to curb and stop our fossil fuel dependence before it is too late.

To ensure the White Pines Wind Project is protective of human health, safety and the environment, DO NOT CLOSE IT DOWN!!! What part of climate change do you choose to ignore???
