Wind farms. Fucking everywhere !
Come visit our beautiful country and see our wonderful scenery...
Went out a drive today since the weather was pretty nice, and all you see around here now is this. Not exactly the first thing you think of when going out hill walking or wanting to see when just simply out to enjoy the countryside. |

They are the reason I now pay the highest electricity rates in all of Canada. The liberals were paying ridiculous rates per kw/h for people who put these up (as well as solar panels) and now we have to pay the price. Already highest in Canada with an added 40% increase over the next 4 years. Fuck renewable energy.

They are putting them up at such a rate here it's actually unbelievable. We have always used our amazing scenery as a selling point for tourism. I feel that selling point will diminish over the coming years... |

You guys are a pack of faggots. Think about the future. Who gives a shit about what your fucking "shoreline" looks like. Use it for shade, ya fat fuck webmaster. We all know you haven't been out in the sun since 1999.

I am just east of chatham Kent by 15 minutes or so. Luckily no turbines in my backyard. Everyone in my area went solar, which is much less annoying.

Say that when your utility costs double or triple over the course of a few years.

No, blame that on your votes and their lobbyists. Yes, wind power should be more expensive than coal, nuclear or whatever.

I have friends with them in their backyard in that area and I didn't even notice it until we drove by in a cart.. silent despite being gigantic. Not seeing a problem here at all. If anything they make what would be a dull empty landscape interesting to look at.

What bothers me is them paying the owners of them a ridiculous price per kw as an incentive to put them up (in most cases locked in for 20 years), when we already have more electricity than we already need. So much so that we are literally GIVING away our excess power to the US and other provinces. Wait, not only are we giving it away, sometimes we have to PAY people to take it. Yet we are paying the highest price for electricity in Canada. Excellent business plan. http://toronto.ctvnews.ca/ontario-pa...c-u-s-1.599345

i think there's nothing wrong with them as long as you dont put them too close to where people live - offshore is fine
the problem is the higher price that is paid for wind power - should not be necessary anymore with nowadays technology but i take windfarms any time over burning coal or oil and especially over nuclear power (and now i wait for Vendzilla and the bald eagles...)

i am all for green technology but how much coal is burnt just to create these things in china? how long until these wind towers are no longer viable? so much money is thrown at anything 'green'. it doesn't matter if the technology will be outdated in 5-10 years.

I actually don't think they look bad when I see them. To me the picture is of great countryside and yes, there are some of those big turbines there.
And... spilled oil kills more life than those things could ever dream of. The ones that dream I mean.

I agree with you.
The solutions exist, we just don't have a government that give a damn. Every home in the UK should have their roof covered in solar panels, it won't generate enough power for all our needs (ATM) but it would be a good start. If it was implemented nationwide you'd have a solar energy industry worth ten times what it is currently worth That's the sort of level of investment that results in advancements in a technology. Plus with the development of solar panel windows & solar panel roof tiles you'd barely even notice them! If any of these breakthroughs in battery technology come to fruition 1, 2 & 3 we'd be in a great position to generate a lot of our own power. Never understood the pull of Wind powered generation, it's expensive to make, expensive to maintain, is an eyesore and as previously mentioned the low frequency noise drives some people nutty. |

Hopefully they will find a way to make it cost effective soon. Its good in theory, it just not good when it has to be subsidized

EXCELLENT post. Personally I love wind farms. They are cool to look at and show a possible future as a major source of energy for an ever-hungry human race.

Oil, Gas and Coal however, do not deserve subsidies. They are the most profitable industry ever and yet still lobby governments for tax breaks and cash. Fuck them. Solar, Wind and other renewable energy deserves attention, not these fuckers.

The issue with wind is that we can't control when it blows and generally it doesn't happen during peak demand. We end up trying to sell it off to other markets at a loss, so as not to overload the grid. Quebec has the lowest rates, Ontario is almost at the top. So not sure what you consider stupid about his post.

expensive, definitely. Eyesore? Compared to what? a tree? we are talking about a power source here not a painting, compare it to power lines and tell me again how much of an 'eyesore' they are. Low frequency noise is pure hokum. My friend has a giant dog kennel not even 100 yards from theirs that was put in a few months ago and the dogs don't even notice it, if they can't hear it or be irritated by it its not even possible for people to hear or 'experience' it--not a chance.

He's from Quebec though so he obviously hasn't been following the electricity boondoggle in Ontario created by the liberals. We have more power than we need already, so much so that we have to pay people to take it, yet they continue to subsidize the building of new wind farms and have consequently ended up saddling Ontario with the most expensive electricity in Canada, with rates set to climb another 40% on top of that. Factories are dropping like flies in Ontario because of the utility rates alone. Forget unions. electricity is the new job killer. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/...ticle17560172/

Ya, in the mean time we lose all our manufacturing jobs. Do you realize what a burden 40% + increase in electricity costs is to industry? Nevermind the old grandma trying to pay her utility bills on a fixed pension.

It is not sustainable. The wind is not constant or during regular hours. So if you have 100% wind you still need 100% something else as a backup. All that extra infrastructure and investment just as back up. Yep, not going to work so lets bark up a different tree.

One of my favorite campgrounds on the north shore of Lake Erie is literally surrounded by them in every direction.
A real blight on the landscape. Even the old Loyalist family farmstead built by my great-great grandfather has one. |

There is a simple solution to such problems, just evacuate the country, whereas with the windmills they are damn annoying

Ok, but isn't it nicer to have clean non polluting windmills than dirty, leaky oil drills (and the associated trucks and other transport driving through your family's property to unload the oil every day?

A single small wind farm's energy output may be variable sure, but the more windmills and the more win farms you have, the more redundancy you have, and the more energy you have too. Wind farms at this stage are designed to supplement existing energy sources such as hydro, and do so while creating the smallest environmental impact. It surprises me to no end that people on GFY who invest in high speed computers, who demand reliable hosting, and expect high tech software from billers, webcam, cms and other providers, who love high tech gadgets like smartphones and 4K TV's, are so ass-backwards when it comes to energy. You would think that the Internet generation would be pushing hard for high tech solutions for clean / renewable energy instead of happily accepting oil as the only source.

In fact, they have started paying wind turbine owners to NOT produce energy at certain times. I wish I could find a job like that. Pay me to sit at home and do nothing. And it's not just Ontario getting hit by this due to the incompetence of Wynne and McGuinty. They are also experiencing the same thing in other areas, which I guess should make us feel a little better. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/ene...ectricity.html
