CBC "Ontario Today" generates comments....

Comment on SkyPower's interests here in Wilno after the CGC "Ontario Today" interview by Bill Brown with Prince Edwards County Mayor and the opponents of the Industrialzation of "The County":

"Skypower and other wind companies are here too, in the Madawaska Valley, luring poor landowners with the promise of thousands of dollars per year to sign a 20 year lease. That document includes a gag order and denies any responsibility on the part of the wind company for any kind of damage. The municipal government seems all too ready to swallow Skypower's promises and misleading advertizing, reluctant to ask tough questions, like:
Which nuclear plant will shut down because of these turbines?
Why will our Hydro costs go up, not down?
Who will pay to widen our roads for transporting the tower components, and to fix the roads after tower construction?
Who will pay for fire control when a turbine is hit by lightning, and how will we prevent forest fires like the ones industrial wind turbines caused in Australia?
How will we prevent our property values from plummeting as they have in other areas when these turbines were erected?
What will happen to people who get sick from the low frequency noise, can't sleep, and can't move because no one will buy their house? Will they have to abandon their homes, as others have in Ontario?
What exactly is the benefit to our township, other than the privilege of making the Skypower shareholders rich and allowing our government to call itself 'green'?
The public must get informed, and fast, before the contracts are signed. If not, we'll go down the same road as so many other communities before us, and live to regret it.
