I was very happy when the newly elected government terminated the Feed-in-Tariff contract for the White Pines Wind Project and revoked the renewable energy approval issued by the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks.

This cancellation is an infuriating blunder by the provincial government. I seriously doubt that Doug Ford and his party are concerned about impact on endangered species, and are simply citing that as an excuse.

Once the bulk of the White Pines was closed by the Environmental Review Tribunal, the balance could have been scrapped by the IESO, but they didn't. They went ahead and gave approval during the provincxial elction, which they shouldn't have.

There is no information on how much this going to cost?
This company is not just going to lie down.
What is going on? We don't want renewable energy?
Ontario is going for more coal fired energy?
Or nuclear energy.
Wake up ! This government has no mandate to do this!

Please remove these from Prince Edwars County in a professional manner. Unlike the way they were erected. They destroyed our roads and did not abide by any of the terms of the agreement .
It seems foolish to me that a clean energy project such as this is being considered for closure given that we need to be putting more resources towards projects similar to this one in order to reduce our carbon footprint faster so we can avoid the dangers outlined by the IPCC in early October.

Dismantling this project does not make sense. The investment in the White Pine Winds Project has been going on for years and many steps had to be met for approval of starting construction.

Closing the wind project at White Pines is a terrible idea. The project was nearing completion. 100 million invested and this government wants to throw that away! Conservatives go on that they "fiscally responsible" and this shows the exact opposite.

this is not good for business in ontario.
eliminate the FIT, and require them to close only once they have made back their money for the project, a reasonable ROI, and enough money to cover the cost of returning the lands to how they were.

As the original appellant against the REA granted to WPD White Pines in 2015, I have a strong interest in ensuring that the remains of this ill-advised project are fully removed from the fragile Prince Edward County south shore.

The White Pines Wind Project should remain in tact and should not be dismantled. In fact, all renewable energy projects should be embraced and supported by the province as this country builds a new promising industry that will make us internationally competitive.

The White Pines project has been approved by the same same ministry now proposing regulations to stop the project and take it down. How does the ministry deal with this hypocrisy and cognitive dissonance.
The Project has been approved by the Ministry and should be built .

I am a resident of S Marysburgh and vehemently opposed to the cancellation of the White Pines project. There are no grounds for this cancellation other than the loud voices of a determined opposition group.

The installation of the White Pines' industrial size wind turbines in and around an internationally designated Important Bird Area is a poorly thought out decision, or mistake.
