DIRTY BUSINESS The Reality of Ontario's Rush to Wind Power* is published by Wind Concerns Ontario.


"While renewable energy project developers are still enjoying the last blush of their gold rush, job-destroying, budget busting electricity rate increases have just begun.  The McGuinty government's massive portfolio of excessively priced, take-or-pay energy contracts will be ripping off ratepayers for 20 years. . .
"Armed with new, sweeping directive powers, McGuinty is gutting the regulatory agencies meant to protect the public interest, shouldering aside their expertise and due process."
~ Tom Adams, former executive director of Energy Probe www.tomadamsenergy.com

"So I ask that the next time you think about industrial wind, consider these points.  Ask yourself why an industry would hide from science if the truth was on their side.  Why would an industry support an end to local democracy if their product was all it was cracked up to be?  People should be fighting for  these projects if these are what the industry claims these projects are.  To those who are involved in this industry, ask yourself just how far you are willing to go, and how much of what you and your company are doing would you like to explain to a judge."
