I have lost my land use but still have to pay taxes because of GEA

and the robber barons , Algonquin wind power. We will fight to the bitter end.

And how many millions will this cost us?

The furthest thing from ‘ecological.’

Where once were fields of natural beauty, as on Wolfe Island: the natural habitat has been replaced with wind farms: a toxic mix of wire, concrete, steel, and battery acid; set permanently in a once-natural habitat.

I support green projects & ideas, and a general betterment for the environment and our planet. However, I do not support the financially profitable environmental projects that are accessed by only a few corporations, projects that benefit their corporate pockets (& those of their shareholders), at the cost to the communities, people, and ironically, the environment in which these projects are sited, projects such as the proposed Windlectric/Stantec Amherst Island Industrial Wind Farm.


I am convinced that some green energy projects are good only for the politicians who approved the project, and the companies who receive the huge amounts of grants to build the projects, as well as the companies who receive the huge amounts of subsidies (from our tax dollars, that can otherwise go to provincial debt reduction or health care!!!) to stay afloat.


Amherst Island is a small island of farms, homes, and is also proudly home to the internationally recognized sanctuary known as Owl Woods. Amherst Island cannot be turned into an industrialplex filled with skyscraper tall wind turbines, and miles of tunnels that will cable the turbines to their on-island substation(s).


I am also appalled at the increase in the “Delivery Charges” from Hydro One as a result of green energy. Hydro One states that it is/will be costing them additional maintenance & upgrade funds (that they do not have in their budget?!?!!) to capture & integrate the power resulting from the various green energy projects into the grid. They are downloading those additional costs to their customers.


Rural Ontario needs to be the squeaky wheel now. The residents of rural Amherst Island need to be the loudest with this issue. Our voices need strong representation in government. Randy Hillier, thank you for being that voice.

Industrial wind turbines are not green, not safe, not economically viable and serve as a conduit for a direct transfer of wealth from my (and your) pocket to the coffers of wealthy multinational corporations. We have the Provincial Liberal Government to thank for this human and economic disaster of unparalled scale.

I live dependent upon a life support machine – a result of Lyme Disease. I am hypersensitive to environmental changes or stimuli. I feel threatened by the possible health issues that may ensue from the generators.

Hugh & Claire Jenney are asking the Ontario Legislators to stop wasting taxpayers’ money on these dangerous, industrial wind turbines.

They make no economic sense, they create health hazards, and destroy local ecosystems, not to mention killing large numbers of various species of local and migrating birds, some endangered. The Green Energy Act remains a baseless ploy for short term popularity gains by a Liberal Governnment that reeks of incompetence from the head down. We need to keep industrial wind turbines off Amherst due to all the above-mentioned issues, and, more generally, we need to accumulate and assess evidence-based research findings across a broad spectrum of issues; medical, physical, economic, social; before these monsters go anywhere else in Ontario, starting right now. I remain committed to seeing that this happens. The small monetary gains to be made by a few people do not abrogate the civil and community rights of others to live unnecessarily encumbered.

This needs to stop. They have ruined property values on Prince Edward Island

Industrial wind turbines are a senseless waste of taxpayers money.

No turbines on Amherst Island!

It would be a tragedy to see wind turbines scattered on Amherst Island. It’s a pastoral place, a stopover spot for migratory birds, and the health hazards have not been disproven.
