The President of Leader Resources Services has brought his “show and tell” presentation on wind turbine farms to Kincardine council.
Charles Edey presented the same story as he had in Arran Elderslie and in Saugeen Shores earlier in the month.
Edey says more dialogue needs to get started and more information needs to be shared to balance what he calls “mis-truths” about wind farms.
He says they provide income to farmers and income to municipalities in which they set up the farms.
Kincardine councillors brought up the same arguments of health concerns and aesthetics.
Deputy Mayor Anne Eadie, no relation, also wanted to know if the wind farm developer was prepared to bury its lines to alleviate some of what has been called “dirty electricity” near the turbines and in nearby homes.
The President of Leader Services says the lines will be buried from the turbines to the sub-stations on farms but lines would not be buried along concession and county roads as they hook up with Hydro One.
Deputy Mayor Eadie says she was disappointed to hear the lines would not be buried along the municipality’s roadways.
