Documentary: Down Wind

Here is a really good documentary on IWT's in Ontario. Otter Creek is about to be nailed with 4.2MW turbines that stand as tall as a 65 story building. You don't even see that in Toronto.

The documentary is well done in my opinion.

What did you think Tom?
Can you believe how loud they are? The corruption?
Did you know, not one single county has been a willing host? Not one!
Its very hard to explain to people what I mean when I say I have a jet hoovering over my house.

Carmen Krough who is in this documentary has been an invaluable support for me and our family. She truly is an amazingly compassionate person and her knowledge is profound. Profound!
We email, talk and to be honest, there are three of them that I'd be lost without. They are the pioneers in this fight along with all those citizens in each county that has fought and resisted the turbines. My journey has just begun.

We are set up for sound testing next month at our home with one of the worlds top monitoring systems and an acoustician that makes the government very nervous. Will be happening next month. This WILL be in court. It is just quite the process to get there and I'm watching closely a few cases currently in court.

We will be testing 6 frequencies including infrasound, which is what has put me on a prescription. When the technicians came to assess my property for testing, it was a calm day and he is so used to this he put one of the output noises at the very min 60(?) when the allowable is 40(?). I'm unsure Of the measurement. Hertz? dBa? And that was a relatively calm day they were here.
They are in violation of noise almost every day and really, who needs sleep or your sanity anyways.

Did I mention don't

with me?

This is what Ohio sees of Chatham at night. Across Lake Erie. What is that? 100km?

So you can imagine my frustration when people tell me, oh the lights can't be that bad in your backyard. Remember, the turbine that pisses me off the most is 682m from my home and 417m to my property line.

If one more person tells me "I walked up to a turbine and didn't hear anything or have any health problems", or "just chose to ignore it," I will be in jail.

This is what you can see in one direction from the top of my road. The other direction has way more, but I didn't head that way that day to take pictures.

This is my view everything I come home.

It truly saddens me beyond words.

They are closing a school at the top of my road. I called because there is no way that the turbine has the 1km setback it is required from a school because it can interfere with children's learning and the response was they will be closing the school. they can acknowledge it interferes with children and their learning, especially children on the spectrum, but place next to people's homes? Criminal.

Thanks Tom, I have this one to watch too!

I just watched, but she is shaky in her facts. It's not 500ft set backs, it's 550m set backs. Just wanted to clarify that.

I see those same lights from my house looking to the south. it drives me crazy as well! more are coming. good luck in your fight Sandy! I really feel for you!

You're right Al, more are coming!! And bigger, more power, more turbulence, higher infrasound and louder noise. Same set backs. 550m.
Thank you for your well wishes. :)

Correct me if I'm wrong but here. Back when Nextra was just getting all their ducks & approvals in a row & we were fighting yes the municipality had no say but got right away money for massive poles carrying power to stations but the owners of the land there on did . Is it still the same ?

This is the view out my front window now. When they install the turbines for the wind farm, I will see them all across the horizon.

I didn't know they had lights on them.

From our provincial power company's website:
"Wind turbines use giant fan-like blades to generate electricity when the weather conditions are right. Wind turbines don’t work well when there’s no wind, too much wind (for safety reasons) or when it’s too cold." If they don't work half the time, why put them up?

It says reliability is low, cost is low, and environmental impact is low (no emissions and is a renewable resource). It says we get 5% of power from turbines now and will have 30% of power coming from turbines by 2030. It doesn’t say how many turbines will be needed to do this.
