GuelphMercury - Ontario farmers don’t support wind energy initiatives:

Columnist Owen Roberts, a teacher of agricultural communications at the University of Guelph and the self-titled Urban Cowboy, asserted in his Monday column (Wind Energy Predictions in Ontario Hit New Highs) that the Canadian Wind Energy Association (CanWEA), the lobby organization representing the interests of the international wind industry in Canada, says that rural Ontario leads the way for new installations.

He omits to state that the Green Energy Act, coupled with targets by Dalton McGuinty’s Liberal government, mandates the installation of thousands of 200-metre wind turbines, in our rural communities — explicitly without the approval of those very communities.

Roberts’ column creates the impression that Ontario farmers are welcoming and supportive of CanWEA’s retail operators in droves. This could not be further from the truth.

The vast majority of Ontario farmers have declined to participate in the “free money” program of the wind companies — sometimes on principle, other times after careful consideration of their risks and loss of property rights that are inherent in “leasing” agreements. This negative reaction is reflected in the position of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture and the Christian Farmers Federation of Ontario.

The Registered Nurses Association of Ontario (RNAO) recently issued their “Position Statement: Healthy Energy Solutions for Ontario”. The drew the bulk of the information contained therein from the sustainable energy crowd that are responsible for the Ontario ratepayers suffering each and every time they open their electricity bills or have their health affected by the noise emanating from industrial wind turbines.

The RNAO's main source of information came from the Ontario Clean Air Alliance (OCAA), Pembina, the Ministry of Energy along with Greenpeace, Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer and a few others like the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment (CAPE) and the Ontario Sustainable Energy Association. Based on a quick count the foregoing represented 38 of the 71 citations listed.

Of the list above Jack Gibbons stands out as the principle purveyor of the information used to produce this 12 page “Position Statement” as he is the current chair of OCAA (16 citations), and is, or has been connected with Pollution Probe and has worked to produce studies for Pembina (6 citations). It is difficult to find a biography on Mr. Gibbons however it appears he is an economist (Queen's U), which presumably means he believes he is qualified to speak on energy matters.
