Ontario Wind Resistance|January 11, 2013
Nextera Energy is questioned at a public information meeting in Exeter, Ontario on their recent removal of a bald eagle nest, the tree it was in and the surrounding vegetation, in Haldimand County to make for the company's Summerhaven Wind Project. The eagle nest was near where Nextera was planning to erect 3 of their turbines, and an access road. The project could not 'proceed' with this eagle nest and the tree it was in, in the way. The public was not notified of the Ministry of Natural Resources approval of this eagle nest removal until Friday Jan. 4th, at 5:00pm. Cranes, trucks and bulldozers arrived on the site early Saturday Jan. 5th morning, the nest was 'removed' and taken away, the trees were all cut down, and nothing remains of the eagles nesting area.
In this video Nextera spokespersons try to explain away the removal. They are speaking to residents who will live in their proposed Bornish, Goshen, Jericho and Adelaide projects who are not very encouraged by their responses.
