Windfarms

Yesterday when we drove back from Hope Bay, where we spent a week, we passed through the Shelburne area. If you didn't know, this is the area where there are a large number of windturbines to generate more than 10% of Canada's winde energy capacity, making it the largerst in the country. When you fly out west you have a great view of them! There is a lot of controversy surrounding the windfarms, with some worried about effect on health. These are not clearly supported by documented evidence. On the other hand the environmental benefits are excellent. Here is a link to a website with some more in formation if you are interested. http://ecopolitology.org/2008/11/10/canadas-largest-wind-farm-goes-live-but-country-lags-behind/
