Some social media groups are on a mission to deliver a petition to the House of Assembly asking for a 6 month wait before any wind turbine projects are allowed. Government has set tomorrow, October 11th as the deadline for public comment on environment impacts statements, specifically the one tabled by World Energy GH2. Brenda Kitchen is with the facebook group, “No wind turbines on the Port au Port Peninsula,” and “Protect NL.” Kitchen spent the afternoon at the Corner Brook Plaza yesterday handing out signs and information while collecting signatures. She says what’s happening now with wind energy deals is just too much too fast. Kitchen says estimated costs for decommissioning these turbines are enormous. Former St. John’s Mayor Dennis “Doc” O’Keefe has added his voice to the cause by saying there isn’t enough time to go through the document. For more information, email protectnl@outlook.com
