Wind Concerns Ontario supports responsible, environmentally sound solutions to our energy demands and environmental challenges. The Green Energy Act, however, did not fulfill promises: the reality of this legislation and government policy was to locate expensive industrial wind power plants with no cost-benefit analysis and little environmental oversight. The noise complaints and health effects being reported in Ontario today echo those of people in other countries around the world. Wind power generation projects are an industrial use of the land; the planning and siting process should be the same as for any other sort of industrial infrastructure, with full cost-benefit analysis and risk assessment (including effects on the local population,) and thorough environmental assessment. Wind Concerns Ontario is committed to informing the people of Ontario as to the many concerns surrounding industrial wind power.
