MORE ON WIND FARMS

Today's Kitchener-Waterloo Record (In Brief pg.3) advises us of an appeal of a wind farm in the Chatham area. I am still personally struggling with the whole idea of opposition and resistance to green energy projects. At present what seems to be the deciding factor for me is the belief that the opinions and position of the majority do not and should not overule the RIGHTS of the minority. If we as citizens have rights to peace, health and enjoyment of our property then they should not be trumped by the needs of the majority. There MUST be a path found that can satisfy both citizens' rights as well as their needs for electric power. This appeal is going to the Environmental Review Tribunal. Based I grant you on only one experience with them recently, I suggest that the local citizens are in deep trouble.
