DurhamRegion Article: Clarington an unwilling host to wind power:

CLARINGTON -- Last-minute presentations by a wind farm developer and a doctor convinced there are no ill health effects from properly-sited turbines were not enough to tip the scales against a council chamber packed with residents opposed to the farms.
Clarington is officially an unwilling host to wind energy, after council passed the declaration at its Monday, May 13 meeting.
In her first throne speech, Premier Kathleen Wynne said Ontario could benefit from industrial wind farms only if there were willing hosts for the turbines. Shortly after, several communities passed resolutions to declare themselves "unwilling hosts" of wind farms.
Heather Rutherford, from Clarington Wind Concerns, asked Clarington council to do the same.
"We are hoping that the Premier of the province will take our concerns, and the concerns of other communities, into serious consideration when they make their decision," said Ms. Rutherford. "We're hoping that by passing this resolution tonight, it will send a clear message to Premier Wynne that Clarington does have some serious concerns about this project."
