Goetz wants consultation to avoid wind farm complications
From page 3
Wind farms have
been contentious in
other areas, where
opponents complain
about esthetic issues
and unresolved
health impacts of
living near the tur-
bines.
Goetz wants con-
sultation to avoid
similar problems in
new developments.
"If we'm going to
partner with it we
should be left in the
loop," Goetz said.
"I'm not sure the
Green Energy Act is
going to answer all
(the public con-
cerns)."
Nextera-Energy is
proposing six -tur-
bine wind farm near
Formosa, Paisley
and Tara, and a 12 -
turbine develop-
ment near Durham.
At this point
Bruce County plan-
ning hasn't had for-
mal
ormal notice of any of
those proposals.
"I think we're
prime players here
and we don't know
nothing about it,"
Goetz said in an
interview. "I just
think the Bruce
County planning
had the same feel-
ings that I had - that
we were left out of
the loop at leastso
far"
The newly -
passed Green
Energy Act : takes
planning decisions
forwind farms out
of county hands.

Nextera Energy
has negotiated with
17.

opments,
