In a 15-8 vote that drew applause from residents in the public gallery, regional council voiced support for the two townships as unwilling hosts for turbines.

The Region's decision comes after it shot down a wind turbine moratorium last year and went on to dub itself the Green Energy Capital of Canada.
There's no contradiction betwwen the vote and the moniker, said St. Catharines Coun. Andy Petrowski.
"We support municipalities at council and committee on a regular basis ... for areas we don't have jurisdiction in," he said.
He pointed to Ontario's slashing a massive green energy deal with Samsung by $3.7 billion as a sign that wind energy is on the decline.
"Clearly even the province is cutting back to its commitment on wind turbines at this time."
Welland Mayor Barry Sharpe said the two townships deserve the Region's backing, couching it as "moral support."
