I wish to Protest for the Cancellation of the White Pines Wind Project in Prince Edward County. As a current landowner in the South Marysburgh township I want to pledge my Support to the completion of the White Pines Wind project. We need Green Energy projects, period, end of discussion.

I don't understand why this plant is being cancelled 8 years and $100 million down the road. I understand that the construction is unpopular with the local community, but this is often true with construction and, once finished, the plant will benefit both them and other Ontarians.

I strongly disagree with this proposal and support the continuation of the White Pines Wind Project. Your ministry’s primary mandate is to protect the environment.

I have been a strong conservative for many years and am excited about the direction the Ford government is taking over all but this is one of the blunders they have made. I believe it was done for political reasons. It puts a very bad taste in the mouths of investors and contractors like myself.

Methane gas is 84 times more potent than carbon dioxide. Leading scientists say methane alone is responsible for 25 per cent of observed changes to the global climate. Methane is emitted during the production and transport of coal, natural gas, and oil.

I was deeply saddened and annoyed at the decision to close the White Pines project. It appears that this decision is taken purely to satisfy campaign promises rather than any real need.

I strongly object to the regulation calling for the termination of the White Pines Wind Project. This project is largely complete and would cost more to terminate than to finish.

I live in Milford, and can see the wind turbines from my home, and I want it known that I and my family STRONGLY SUPPORT THE WIND FARM DEVELOPMENT that the Ford government is threatening to dismantle!

This seems crazy to me.
The electricity generated with wind will reduce our dependency on polluting generating methods like gas, oil, and coal. It may some day allow us to mothball the nuclear generating stations.
How is the local region planning on making up for this loss?

Seeing first hand in our community the amount of materials , fuel and other resources that have gone into building this project to a nearly completed state, it is mind-boggling to think that even more will now need to go into removing what is there should this wind farm be dismantled.

I would like to see the cancellation of the White Pines Wind Project reversed. and the project continued.
The Project is nearly complete after 10 years of effort. We, as a province, have already invested $100 million into the project.

To close down the White Pines Project seems to me utterly irresponsible. We in Eastern Ontario need the economic activity that renewable projects bring. I resent that my taxes will go to settle the just claims of the developer for compensation.

I wholeheartedly oppose the "White Pines Wind Project Termination Act, 2018". The White Pines Wind Project, like other wind farms, is a clean, safe, reliable, cheap source of electric power that will be essential as the province's nuclear generators reach the end of their useful lives.

In this time of environmental crisis, we need all the clean, renewable energy we can get. Shutting down this project will only contribute to further climate degradation which will cost all of us huge amounts as natural disasters continue to escalate and become more frequent.

Mr Ford, it is time to wake up to the realities of today and stop looking backwards. What worked a decade or two or five ago is no longer the answer and solution for the problems we are facing now and will be inevitably faced by the next generations.
