I recently moved to the County knowing that a wind farm was going to be a view from my house. That was one of the reasons we chose this location.

I have never heard of anything so STUPID. Why would anyone in their right mind what to stop this nearly completed wind project! Let’s get this back on track and get those blades spinning. Now not later! It has already been too long in the making
Private land owners signed agreements to let these companies come onto their land and guild these wind turbines to help with electrical shortage. The government of the day using old information to shut down the project is not right. It doesn’t matter where we live in Canada this should not happen
The environmental impact to remove all the cement, steel, cables etc. would be far more damaging than it was to install. I wonder if anyone of the protesters that claimed to care about a bird, a bat or a turtle are they going to give them one minute of thought now?
The land that used to erect the wind mills is nothing but rock and scrub. Crops don’t grow well in that environment. Now you are suggesting that we restore the land back to scrub?
The footprint of the project is 100 % in — so all the access roads, the concrete for the base foundations, much of the electrical infrastructure and sub-station

If this decision is about money, it’s pretty short-sited. If it’s about the environment, it’s really short-sited. If it’s about ego, I wouldn’t be surprised.
I understand that not everyone supports wind farms for various reasons, however, it baffles me that something that is already built and paid for will be scrapped. What an absolute waste on every level.
People don’t understand the harmful effects reversing this project will have. A lot of gravel, steel, cement and cables have been used that will need to come back out of the ground. It all has to go somewhere.

The project is almost complete. Terminating the project would cost $1,000,000. The decision to terminate appears to be purely ideological and did not keep the interests of taxpayers.
In light of the UN report and, more recently, the US report on the dire state the world is in, we just don’t have a choice anymore. We have to invest in clean energy.
Just because Ontario’s electricity system is badly run doesn’t mean wind energy is a bad idea. Providing monetary incentives to wind and solar makes sense but it seems like that idea was overdone. It’s not too late for a course correction. Don’t waste what’s already there
Getting rid of a $100 million project doesn’t mean the problem goes away. We still pay more for hydro than any other province. Even the U.S. pays much less than we do and they can't even figure out health care. It doesn't make sense to cut off your nose to spite your face!
