DEEP AND MYSTERIOUS

MNR has placed a moratorium on the over 500 plans from wind developers for Lake Ontario at the present time. That's pretty overwhelming for them, we guess! Ontario does not have setbacks, no master plan to protect species and habitats, no plan for aquatic life management re turbines in the Lake, and we can only surmise why Toronto Hydro has begun its plan to industrialize the northern shore of the Lake without any precautions.

But here is the footprint that Toronto Hydro is using in its lease of Crown land on the lake bed for its massive plan to put 40 story 60-100 industrial turbines just off the shore at the Scarborough Bluffs. The current plan is from Leslie Street to Port Union. Scarborough Bluffs is just the start of Hydro's plans!

What isn't deep and mysterious is that there's money involved. Lots and lots of money.

What also isn't deep and mysterious, is that there is no logic to this plan, there isn't enough wind, and it's the worst possible location for industrialization; we urge the many communities along the North Shore to band together to protect the migratory routes, habitat, aquatic and marine life, as well as human health.
