Good news:

Feb 11, 2010
This is a photo from a trip to Lake Superior Park area. For the photo of the actual turbine, check out the above link.
This is rather exciting, as many have said to me.
Exciting, as our son-in-law is running for the Green Party in Ottawa-Carleton. Much fun!
BUT:
A local school will have a slightly different profile by this fall. St Mary's Separate school is one of five schools chosen by the Simcoe Muskoka Catholic School Board to install a wind Turbine to generate power for the school.
The Green Schools Pilot is a joint venture by the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Research and Innovation The structure will be quite visible from Highway 11 as it stands 7 metres tall.
The total cost to install the wind turbines at the five schools is $309,000.00.
HUNTSVILLE - Saint Mary’s Catholic School in Huntsville will have a wind turbine installed this spring. The Simcoe Muskoka Catholic District School Board has received Ministry of Education funding, as part of the ministry’s Green School Pilot program...

This is what I like to see. I think that wind power is so much nicer than coal fired energy plants.
Now that's a wind turbine. Ours is definitely much smaller and doesn't generate much power, except during storms, but at least it's something during those dark winter months. - Margy
