Oil, toxic chemicals may have leaked into Massachusetts cranberry marsh after blade detachment, crash on Friday. What remediation can there be for oil on this cropland? @OntFarmerNews

Except wind turbines. Components made elsewhere, majority of proponents in recent RFP are foreign companies (some with symbolic Canadian offices): U.S., Spain, Germany, Australia, Austria, France.

Millions more gone into the pockets of "renewable" energy operators and battery money storage sites. Here's the disappointing math from Parker Gallant. (And, the @IESO_Tweets is looking for more unreliable, out of phase with demand wind power. #onpoli

Well, October 6th and 7th, 2025 has come and gone, and Ontario’s ratepayers and taxpayers have had to absorb over $14 million to ensure those wind, solar and battery storage owners are happy! Revie…

South African wind "farm" claims "rapid" response and shutdown is saving birds. Except for the Black Harrier, on the edge of extinction. Response? Oh well, "climate change" would have killed it anyway. Noble. #birds #wildlife #windturbines #predators

In the Western Cape, a wind farm's rapid response to halt turbines is saving endangered birds like Cape vultures from fatal accidents.

More photos from the Plymouth, Mass. wind turbine cranberry blade crash. Yes, the turbine stopped automatically but why did it take a neighbour to report it? Of all the turbine "jobs" is no one doing remote monitoring? #windturbines #safety

Not a wind power story but Melancthon's fight vs a mega quarry heightens awareness of water issues, as in Chatham-Kent.

A proposed Strada blast quarry in Melancthon, Ont., sparks regional debate over water protection, farmland sustainability, and Ontario’s aggregate policy.

Quick! Read this before the story disappears! Turbine blade detaches, falls into cranberry marsh. Another rare event.

The blade fell in the area of Head of the Bay Rd. near the Bourne town line.

Another example of not thinking about consequences. Here, water use estimates for EV battery were off. Way off.

Officials say the massive electric vehicle battery plant under construction near St. Thomas will require about $400 million in upgrades to the local water system, a cost the municipal water supplier...

Apparently, if you have "personal" "recreational" cows, eating only hay "harvested recreationally", it's not #agriculture ,the land can be used for power projects, says Evolugen/Brookfield (in @WestOnline ). These people will say ANYTHING and think urban councillors are stupid.

Eastern Ontario not interested in more wind power projects: in current @FarmersForum1 Wind Concerns Ontario president says, people choose farming over wind "farms." @IESO_Tweets #onpoli @WindConcernsONT @northgowerwind

You could tell wind power proponents and some municipal councils these facts over and over (hello Kerns, Chatham-Kent) but they can't hear it for the sound of money. #noise #windturbines @IESO_Tweets @ONenvironment
I’ve seen wind consultants and captured regulators ignore these basic physics principles over, and over, and over again, like a playbook.
