Let's see: 8 turbines rated at 1.25 MW each (but only generate 30% of rated wattage) and only 3/8 of them operating....hmmm...that's roughly 1.1 MW or only 10% of what the propaganda claimed. sad......that anyone bought into that wind energy scam. Tom B. (LongLine)

F or S The Canadians had 1500+ Feed-in Applications. Of the 1300 accepted only one was for off-shore. What this does is stops all, as you say, until after the Oct/Nov elections. It shows that the liberals are indeed aware & fearful that off-shore freshwater is a politically hot item. The conservatives have been against them. It further kicks existing off-shore investors in the teeth that are going to see no payback on what they’ve already invested for an additional 8-9 months, (minimum) which is going to P them off and make money people much harder to attract. Additionally, this is going to make developers & promoters take a serious look at the freshwater ecosystem and overall affects. In the past, they put the onus on opponents to provide studies showing the detriment turbines would cause. Proponents have previously just drawn quasi-analogies to saltwater. It’s now on the other foot. Developers will have to do scientific studies BEFORE proceeding. (Aquatic wildlife, bathymetry, Hydraulogy, AofC's, recreation value, property value, endangered species, etc which are different than in the saltwater neighborhood) This will add a lot of cost & time to the off-shore projects, which again will stumble many investors. Hopefully, this ban that was announced, (overshadowed by the Egyptian headlines) coupled with the fact that the majority of US border counties have said NO, will show NYS, the USACE, the US Dept of Interior and Obama Administration just how foolhardy the industrialization of our National treasure with turbines would be. (politically, economically & socially) This is a major stepping stone but you are correct in that we cannot assume this is the end. We'll have to keep reminding them. Tom B. (LongLine)
