Bluffs says no to wind turbines

GEORGIAN BLUFFS - Georgian Bluffs is just saying no when it comes to wind turbines.
Wednesday night, council passed a motion saying it would not be a willing host to wind turbines.
“The premier has said we should not be forcing these things on municipalities that don't want it, so it was her directive,” Mayor Alan Barfoot said. “She said if you're not a willing host, then say so, and you won't have to have them. That's certainly different than what was originally portrayed through the Green Energy Act.”"

“It gets to a point where, as a society, we should never be forcing stuff on people, and the way the Green Energy Act was developed, was basically it was forcing that onto us without having any local say,” Barfoot said. “And the premier has basically said if you don't want them, tell us, and you won't have to have them. So we're exercising that right now by passing that motion that we're an unwilling host.”
