Our township has done its best, I think, in many ways to try and mitigate what they can but most of their authority is gone via the Green Energy Act. They can only fight with road user agreements and little petty things like that.

…they took all of the decision making out of the local council. The Green Energy Act mandated it in the first place because it tied everybody’s hands. Nobody could do anything about it. It could be just sanctioned from above.

They [municipalities] can’t make these big decisions, the yes or no, for a [WPP] project.

…the professionals that we trusted to ensure our safety, the engineers that put that okay to monster wind turbines being above our homes…They put their okay that they [IWTs] would be safe but they weren’t safe, they made us really sick, made our neighbours really sick. When we even told the government about that prior to the Green Energy Act, they still didn’t change anything…How can you build an industry that harms people…The Green Energy Act is its own law…our project was built before the Green Energy Act and we had no protection and after the Green Energy Act, there’s still no protection and that’s wrong. It’s just plain wrong.

…there is no safety, there is no insurance from the government that they’re going to protect you from exposure anywhere you live. They’re just putting them in, well in anywhere where they feel like putting them in, and we don’t need them…Until something is changed and the Green Energy Act is maybe rebuilt…that these projects are not green and they’re affecting people’s health…I don’t know where to go. I just don’t.

The Green Energy Act undermining some of the protections that are in place… Embedded by the Green Energy Act in the regulations. Quite frankly, I feel like instead of my government fulfilling its mandate to protect communities…they used my tax paying dollars to oppose me and to discredit me, and have not replied to any of the information I’ve given them. I’ve communicated freely with the company that’s managing the wind turbines…Never, did anybody reply to me.

[After] the Green Energy Act, even if you do have a problem, what hope would you have of ever getting it resolved?
