Letter Response to Lois Johnson From MOE Febuary 12,2014

Lois replies back.

Ms. Garcia-Wright:

Re:  reply of February 12, 2014  (reply is attached)

Once again, you have managed to avoid my question.  I am not concerned about the proponent using the Noise Guidelines for Wind Farms.  I understand that NRWC is following the regulations by doing so.

My concern lies with NRWC saying they are noise compliant at distances less than 600 m while the Environmental Protection Act states that turbines with a sound power level of 106 and 107 dBA must be at least 950 m from a non-participating receptor.  In fact when there are more than 5 turbines clustered less than 3 km, the distance must be increased to 1200 m.

The EPA was written by the ministry.  I have to assume that it was written by staff with technical expertise.  How can the EPA be so different from the noise assessment that NRWC submitted?  This is my question.

This huge discrepancy in setback distances should raise a red flag for the MOE.  The difference is not just a matter of a few metres, it is several hundred metres.

Please reply to my concern.

Yours truly,

Lois Johnson

PROTEST AT QUEENS PARK  IN TORONTO                                                                            11AM, FEBRUARY 24TH 2014

On FEB 24 we will let ALL politicians at Queens Park know that WE ARE NOT GOING AWAY and that existing and proposed industrial wind turbines have to be dealt with and will AGAIN be a major election issue.

Mothers Against Turbines is putting the challenge out there to show MPPs and Toronto that the years of abuse of provincial power has to stop!

Let’s rise to the occasion and send a very clear message to MPPs that industrial wind turbines cannot continue to desecrate our health, homes and communities.

Bring your signs! Bring your noisemakers! Bring your megaphones!

Plans are for a few speakers and a march to the Royal York/Fairmount Hotel to OGRA – Ontario Good Roads Association – handing out information along our way. March will be 30-40 minutes in length. Municipal and provincial elected reps will be at OGRA to see that this issue is not going away simply because the current govt. chooses to ignore it!

For that day, I am arranging for a coach bus to leave Chatsworth at approx. 8:00am with stops in Markdale, Flesherton, Dundalk, Shelburne and Orangeville. We will leave Toronto at 3:00pm. Cost of $35.00 per person covers bus and simple lunch, lunch to be supplied for the ride home.

Smithville Mall: 9:00

Fortinos Parking lot at Hwy 20 and Hwy 53: 9:15

Pick up: Chatsworth Arena: 8:00

Markdale, across from Foodland: 8:25

Flesherton, across from Munshaw’s: 8:35

Dundalk, Esso Station: 8:50

Shelburne, No Frills Parking Lot: 9:10

Orangeville, in FRONT of Walmart: 9:40

Let’s fill this and any other bus anyone takes the care and time to arrange to help you get to this event!

All actions count and the timing for this one will get a message to all running in the upcoming election. Let’s wake ’em up on Feb. 24th!

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.

Erich Jantsch was an Austrian astronomer and technology forecaster, the one man who can plausibly be branded as the scientist who corrupted science into today’s global warming monster.

As one of the seven men who, at dinner on the evening of April 8, 1968, founded the Club of Rome, he possessed the gravitas to evangelize his radical belief that science cannot be neutral.

In order to prevent ecological and social collapse, Jantsch said, Western countries must halt their economic growth and surrender their goods for equitable distribution throughout the world. The alternative: “an eventual worldwide class war.
