Four homes affected by the Ripley Wind Project have been purchased by wind energy developers, and are slated to be put back on the market. One property on Concession 2, another on Concession 4 and two on Concession 6 in Huron Township were purchased by Suncor/Acciona, which developed the 76 megawatt wind power project, March 16. Land transfer documents were obtained by HALT (Huron-Kinloss Against Lakeside Turbines) president Mac Serra. The documents state that Alejandro Salvador Armendariz, manager of Acciona . . .

Acciona Wind Energy Canada plans to re-market the homes it purchased near Ripley, says community relations manager Paul Austin. He was responding to an article in the Kincardine Times last week, stating that the Huron-Kinloss Against Lakeside Turbines (HALT) group had discovered the sale of four of the five homes owned by people who had been fighting Acciona and Suncor (co-owners of the Ripley Wind Power Project). The residents said they could no longer live in their homes because of . . .
Toronto’s iconic wind turbine on the edge of Lake Ontario has been brought to a grinding halt by a combination of a bearing failure and, ironically, high winds. The lazily spinning, three-bladed turbine at the Exhibition grounds has been frozen since mid-March. It’s the latest hiccup for the project which was launched in 2002 when 427 investors raised $800,000 to buy 8,000 shares in the 750-kilowatt generator. Windshare, the co-operative which runs the turbine, hopes to get it up and . . .
Suncor and Acciona executives quietly bought out residents experiencing health problems.
“If there are no health effects from Industrial Wind Turbines as their proponents claim, then why would wind plant operators buy the homes of wind victims?”.
This is the question being asked by HALT (Huron-Kinloss Against Lakeside Turbines) President Mac Serra. The group recently discovered the sale of four of the five properties previously owned by the families that have been fighting Suncor and Acciona over their inability to lead normal lives in their own homes caused by the Ripley Wind Power Project.
The homes were purchased by 2270573 Ontario Inc. One director for this company listed on the transfer is a manager for Suncor and the other a manager for Acciona.

Environmentalists on Tuesday called on the Obama Administration to impose a moratorium on nuclear power plant construction and relicensing of existing plants while conducting a comprehensive safety review of all 104 operating U.S. reactors.
Saugeen Shores council will ask the Ontario government to suspend approvals for two area wind farm projects until they receive community approval. Nearly 250 people — some in support of wind turbines, some opposed — attended council’s committee of the whole meeting Monday, which heard Deputy-mayor Luke Charbonneau’s motion to seek a halt to the Arran and North Bruce wind projects right after a deputation by Charles Edey of Leader Resources Corporation, the proponent of the two projects. Most of . . .
Huron-Kinloss council has not only endorsed tough resolutions against industrial wind turbines by other municipalities, they have created their own. At the council meeting on Feb. 22, council approved a resolution from the North Perth Municipality calling on the province to put a halt on industrial wind turbines until independent health studies have been completed and a full environmental study done to determine the possible impact. North Perth also wants the province to introduce legislation that restores some power to . . .
The Saugeen Ojibway Nation (SON) announced last week in a news release that it supports the Ontario government’s recent decision to halt future offshore wind turbine development until further scientific research is done. “We applaud the Government for its decision to suspend off shore wind development,” said Chief Ralph Akiwenzie, Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation. “With this decision, they have taken a responsible step to ensuring the protection of our Lakes and their ability to continue to sustain us . . .
BRAMPTON, Ont. – The governing Liberals’ surprise decisions to halt off-shore wind farms and freeze the minimum wage have nothing to do with a provincial election that’s just eight months away, Premier Dalton McGuinty said Tuesday. Anti-wind power protesters have greeted McGuinty in many communities across the province, but the premier insisted the moratorium on off-shore projects is not politically motivated. “People are free to do as they wish in terms of drawing whatever inferences that they desire from the . . .
