Latest News: Council Asks Neighbours to Help Fight Off Wind Turbines
Arran-Elderslie council wants to join forces with neighbouring municipalities to try to stop construction of large wind turbines in the area.
Council will invite councillors from both Chatsworth and Georgian Bluffs to meet in Chesley the first week of December “to form a plan of attack,” Elderslie ward Coun. Mark Davis said Monday.
“Everyone is wondering what to do, and everyone is waiting on someone else to act,” Davis said. “We need to do something . . . these things will affect us all.
“I guess the ultimate control is for farmers not to sign any options,” he said and added that he knows of landowners “who thought it wasn’t a bad idea a few months ago that are now changing their minds. There’s a huge percentage of our ratepayers in Arran-Elderslie that don’t want them and we’ve got to do something.”

"A global wind energy company with a subsidiary in Burlington is conducting two wind studies in Arran-Elderslie. NextEra Energy Resources is proposing to erect windmills at each location, one just north and east of Paisley and the other east and south of Tara."
Europe is already aware of the problems these wind farms create. Proper set back laws are not in place. Opinion is that these companies looking for a quick buck (our tax dollars) before the facts are known and are pulling the wool over the eyes of local farmers and land owners.
