Offshore wind power off the table
Try Patterson
OMI Agency
The Ontario Liberals announced
late Friday they have taken propos-
als and applications for offshore
wind power projects off the table,
while further scientific research is
conducted.
A release from Ontario Premier
Dalton McGuinty's office Friday said
no renewable energy approvals for
offshore wind have been issued and
"none will proceed at this time."
"There's insufficient science to
base regulations on to project
human health and the natural envi-
ronment," said John Wilkinson,
Minister of the Environment in an
interview with (IMI Agency on
Friday. "There's no research going
on around the world to answer
those questions we have."
Wilkinson said they will be work-
ing with the United States Depart-
ment of Energy to gather data from
the five -turbine Lake Erie offshore
wind project in Ohio. Until data from
the United States and Sweden is col-
lected and reviewed, the province is
putting all offshore wind on hold.
11e said his ministry is concerned
about the Great lakes as a source of
drinking water and with only 10 off-
shore turbines operating in the
world, in oceans and no fresh water,
they will not support offshore wind
without proper review.
