ONTARIO GOV'T IGNORING ITS OWN RULES

WALLACEBURG - The discovery that some large wind developments across Ontario are not being required to adhere to new provincial noise emission requirements has prompted four citizen groups to take legal action.
“Essentially, we feel like we are collateral damage in this whole Green Energy Act to be perfectly honest, and that's not right,” said Bonnie Rowe, spokesperson for the Dutton Dunwich Opponents of Wind Turbines (DDOWT).
A Notice of Application for Judicial Review was filed by DDOWT in the Divisional Court in Toronto on Tuesday against the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change alleging the ministry has allowed companies promoting at least five large-scale wind projects to ignore new government guidelines with respect to limiting the amount of noise any residence in the area should have to tolerate.
