The West Lincoln Glambrook Wind Action Group has been fighting against wind turbines for years saying their interests are not being considered because the Liberal government has taken away powers at the local level leaving them unrepresented and vulnerable.
The result, many communities are unwilling hosts, but the turbines are built anyway.
Lots has been said about the distance or set back these turbines must be from residential buildings and property lines.
The action group says the current guidelines say the turbines must be back from properties lines at least the height of the turbine at its hub.
The Ministry of the Environment has measured, and three of the five turbines are in violation, against the wishes of the neighbouring properties.
The MOE says it will try to rectify the violation with the neighbours, which really means, we’ll write you a big cheque with taxpayer’s money to look the other way.
Whether you agree or disagree with the citizens, clearly there was not enough research done before these projects were started and there certainly isn’t any follow up inspection during construction or after the fact.
You think moving power plants was costly, wait ‘till we see what this Liberal screw up ends up costing us.
