Ontario wind turbines would stop spinning for good — saving money in the long run, despite up-front cancellation costs — if he became premier, says the Tory leadership candidate from Southwestern Ontario.
“It’s time to end this ripoff,” said MPP Monte McNaughton, one of five candidates for the Ontario Progressive Conservative leadership and the only one from the southwest, where many of wind farms are located.
Please re-read Christine’s commitment letter to rural Ontario from February and I believe you will see that she is committed to standing with us.
For many years, I have been aware that the economic impact of the Liberal’s failed green-energy policy has been devastating to our province, and in particular to our manufacturing sector and rural Ontario. I have also been aware that their policies were dividing rural communities and driving rifts between friends, neighbours and even families.

Dear Sherri,
I am pleased to provide this letter to outline my position on wind power in Ontario.

The owner of a Danish mink farm at the centre of a controversy over nearby wind turbines has reported more casualties among his animals.
Breitbart London reported on Tuesday that the turbines have been linked to a series of miscarriages and deformities among the mink, as well as increasingly aggressive behaviour, but the farmer now says that things have got worse, with healthy pups having to be put down.
The farmer reports having to separate the mothers from their young after they became aggressive and started attacking them. This happened at the same time that the wind… Read more
Denmark: 1,600 animals were born prematurely at a mink farm this month. Many had deformities, and most were dead on arrival. The lack of eyeballs was the most common malformation. Veterinarians ruled out food and viruses as possible causes. The only thing different at the farm since last year has been the installation of four large wind turbines only 328 meters away.
The wind farm consists of four 3 MW turbines, VESTAS model V112, reaching out to 140 meters in height at the tip of the blades. When they became operative last fall, a first mishap was reported by… Read more
Second Harvest revisited: animal and wildlife suffering and sacrifice in the name of non-performing, disastrous “green”
Sherri Lange, CEO, North American Platform Against Wind Power (NA-PAW)
While some farmers use the term “Second Harvest” to benignly refer to their
welcomed scoop of the wind money harvest from hosting wind turbines, a more
sinister meaning is clear for home grown environmentalism. This “harvest”
involves the widespread and now more fully understood feature of animal suffering and death, ugly killing fields, associated with the now equally understood uselessness of wind “factories.” This “harvest,” was ever more evident… Read more
