Ottawa's Energy Evolution policy calls for massive investment in wind turbines, almost impossible to recycle giant blades, "fossils of the future". Noisy, invasive, don't really work and millions of years of garbage. Change it. phys.org/news/2025-03...

Cold isn't it? Power demand is high in Ontario today at 19,000+ megawatts. Where is wind? NOWHERE. Nearby Nation Rise just 4 MW. Not the answer #ottcity

Acoustics professionals (independent ones) recommend substantial setbacks between wind turbines and homes, as in this 2010 paper recommending 1.5 to 2 MILES for safety. Ottawa? We're not going to consider health in our zoning regs. New ones due soon. #noise @ottawacity.bsky.social

This week in wind turbine setbacks: Montana, 1.5 miles; Arizona, 12 miles. Ontario: 550m. Ottawa: has an opportunity to lead in preventing noise pollution, protect health and safety---no new regulations yet. Recommended: 2 km. #ottcity #noise Pic: Brinston ON

Kanata North councillor Cathy Curry claimed in CTV news interview on proposed battery storage that citizen opponents are getting stale info from social media, about 15-yr-old installations. FALSE. Moss Landing, where several fires have occurred, is just 3 years old.

Letter writer to @westcarleton.bsky.social claims local power shortages created need for Time Of Use electricity metering, which is why BESS is a great idea! FALSE! Time of use started in 2008 province-wide. Nothing local about it. Not power shortage.

Signatures mount on petition to demand that West Carleton battery electricity storage site be somewhere industrial i.e., close to fire services, not farms and homes. Former councillor Eli El-Chantiry signed! More events to come #ottcity @ctvnewsottawa.bsky.social

West Carleton residents held a "pop-up" petition signing opportunity vs proposed battery electricity storage site on farmland today, to get commuter traffic. They think the project would be better on industrial land, not close to homes and farms, and away from emergency services e.g., fire. #ottcity

Here's a list of birds that inhabit or pass through Ottawa's rural areas. Some are in decline. Just one more reason why we don't need industrial wind turbines. Pro-wind "environmental" and "climate" groups are hypocrites. www.naturecounts.ca/apps/checkli...

From economist Edguardo Sepulveda more proof that wind power does not work in Ontario. NEGATIVE correlation with demand for power vs positive correlation nuclear, hydro, gas.

Evolugen to hold open house event February 23rd for West Carleton battery electricity storage near Dunrobin. NOT a public meeting with real Q&A, just story boards and PR staff. #rural #westcarleton

Ontario: let's not wreck it. View of Lake Superior yesterday. Some "environmental" groups want to cover the Great Lakes with industrial wind turbines, despite risk of serious environmental damage.

Where is this? Wales, where a giant industrial wind power project featuring 750-foot wind turbines has been proposed. Citizens object for reasons of environmental risks. Artist's picture of a turbine at Mynwyyd Mawr. (In reality, the turbine wd b on a flattened ridgetop)

Wind and solar are not as "green" as promoters (and profiteers) say. Worse, they don't do much for the environment, and are costing us billions. Opinion from Catherine Swift niagaraindependent.ca/lets-freeze-...

An economist recently said wind power was worth no more than $46/MWh in Ontario. So, why did we pay $1200 yesterday? parkergallantenergyperspectivesblog.wordpress.com/2024/12/05/o...
