Dufferin Wind Power would like to correct some serious errors in letter from John Wiggins, published Nov. 14th
November 21, 2013 · 0 Comments
Dear editor:
Firstly, the decision to form a Community Liaison Committee (CLC) was not made in order to simply “put a good face on the project.” It is a condition of the Renewable Energy Approval given to DWPI by the Ministry of Environment. Dillon Consulting is proceeding with forming the CLC to help Dufferin Wind Power fulfill this obligation.
Secondly, Dufferin Wind Power Inc. has committed to decommissioning the project and has guaranteed it by posting a decommissioning security with the Township of Melancthon as part of the agreement made with the Township. The project will not be abandoned.
Thirdly, the concrete foundations for each turbine are between 16 and 18.5 meters in diameter, not 30 as stated in the letter.
Lastly, Ontario needs clean, renewable energy for today and for the future and It needs to have more than one source for reliability. Wind energy is a natural partner with hydro, another valuable energy asset. The wind blows strongest in winter when water reservoirs are lowest; water reserves are often highest when wind resources are typically lower.
