It is estimated that the turbine in the image is about 1/2 mile from the home shown in the forefront. http://www.windaction.org/articles/36554 http://www.windaction.org/articles/33655 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 19:48:06 GMT This notice was mailed to residents living in the vicinity of the Talbot Wind energy facility in Ontario, Canada. http://www.windaction.org/articles/33655 http://www.windaction.org/articles/28890 Mon, 28 Jun 2010 23:53:00 GMT On June 28, 2010, an aerial spray plane owned by Jonair Ltd in Canada clipped the top of a meteorological tower used to measure wind speeds and direction for a possible wind energy facility. The plane was preparing to spray a near-by field. The tower had no markings, paint or lights on it, making it difficult to see. According to Jonair president, John Brodie, notice is not required when met towers are erected so his pilots do not know to look for them. http://www.windaction.org/articles/28890 http://www.windaction.org/articles/28891 Mon, 28 Jun 2010 00:37:11 GMT On June 28, 2010, an aerial spray plane owned by Jonair Ltd in Canada clipped the top of a meteorological tower used to measure wind speeds and direction for a possible wind energy facility.
