Time to confront the anti-wind disinformation campaign

Sierra Club Canada has released a report, “The Real Truth About Wind Energy,“ to factually confront the ‘truth tour’ of Wind Concerns Ontario.

The report reviews the latest medical and scientific research into the health and environmental impacts of wind turbines and concludes there is no scientific justification for placing a moratorium on turbines in Ontario.

It is being sent to every municipality that passed a resolution calling for a moratorium on wind development along with a request to rescind the resolution as the scientific study it called for has been completed.

"Municipalities called for a moratorium at the urging of some residents who were frightened and mislead about alleged negative health effects on people living near wind turbines,” said John Bennett, Executive Director of Sierra Club Canada.

“We looked at this issue very closely and the reality is there is no evidence. Noise, infra sound and shadow flicker have little to no impact on health,” said Bennett.

Communities reap many benefits from this new type of "farming."  They must also address the barriers that have surfaced - and that's part of our job.
