The independent local paper on the Ostrander Point tribunal decision, and its implications

Natural exit | The [Wellington] Times:

Forced to look at the energy file in recent months, mainstream media and average citizens have, at last, begun to examine the outlandish claims, empty promises and lucrative deals made in the name of green energy in this province. The more they look, the less they like what McGuinty has done to electricity in Ontario. His dream has become our very expensive nightmare.
Consider that his own Ministry of Environment approved an industrial wind project on Crown Land at Ostrander Point, and that two independent reviewers subsequently concluded it would be ruinous to a species that is already considered endangered. It is astonishing and worrying that McGuinty’s arrogance took us so far down this terrible path without greater public resistance.
But at last that resistance has been stirred. Too late for Wolfe Island. But perhaps not for Prince Edward County. Or Amherst Island.
The Blanding’s turtle buys this community, and others across the province, some time. And time is the enemy of McGuinty’s wrong headed energy policies. They never made a lick of sense to the folks entrusted to run the grid. Nor did they make any sense to folks who, by curiosity or circumstances, paused to examine his plans and methods closely.
McGuinty’s narrative only worked among folks who were hungry for an easy solution to tough global challenges.
Now he is gone and the stench of the mess he left is seeping out across the land. It will linger with us for decades to come. Premier Wynne must now work feverishly to undo the mistakes made by her predecessor, without appearing to be doing so, while retaining a green patina on her government.
