Now we wonder what it would be like with the threat of construction of huge wind turbines with the constant noise and the strobe lights, which would mean that never again would we see the beauty of the sunset.
Now we wonder what it would be like with the threat of construction of huge wind turbines with the constant noise and the strobe lights, which would mean that never again would we see the beauty of the sunset.
Those who live in rural Ontario know about the hush of darkness, the silence of the moon and the stars, the sharp yap of a fox or the howl of a coyote and the singing of the frogs in the spring. The night is dark as it should be with no blaring lights. You hear the early morning chatter of birds, the sweet song of the robin in the orchard and the mourning dove in the trees above.

This is farm land, it is zoned farm land, and has been farm land for a very long time. Let us leave it that way and remember that corn is also an excellent source of energy.
One further thought, what becomes of these turbines when they become redundant, which inevitably they will; do they remain as eyesores on our landscape, for who will take them down?
