“We would never have moved here,” said Tammy Irwin, adding that they thought they were safe from wind turbine projects because of their new proximity to the Oak Ridges Moraine.
Her husband Darryl’s family had been living on the same farm in Ripley, ON for 135 years, before they decided to move to this area just under three years ago.
“We’re to the point up there that we will be completely surrounded in the next year or so if these turbine developments continue,” Mr. Irwin said of the 38 existing Enercon E-82 wind turbines, and the 50 proposed new and bigger turbines in Ripley.
