McNaughton, PCs continue to push for wind turbine changes
McNaughton to support
Ensuring Affordable Energy
Act, April 18
QMI Agency
Lambton-Kent-Middlesex PC MPP Monte
McNaughton continues to push for changes
to the Liberals failed green energy act and
costly FIT program. McNaughton will sup-
port MPP Lisa Thompson's Bill 39 the 'Ensur-
ing Affordable Energy Act, 2013' when it
comes to a vote on April 18.
"I continue to hear from residents and
members of our communities that they are
not happy with the continued proliferation
of industrial wind turbines," McNaughton
said. "I'm pleased to support my colleague
MPP Lisa Thompson's Ensuring Affordable
Energy Act and will continue to stand-up for
my constituents and neighbours at Queen's
Park."
Bill 39 the 'Ensuring Affordable Energy
Act' contains six key pillars:
Wind turbines will only be placed in will-
ing host communities, and municipalities
will be given full veto over wind turbine
projects in their communities;
Wind power must be affordable --meaning
the cost per kilowatt hour must line up with
other sources of generation;
'Ihe costly feed -in tariff (FIT) program will
be eliminated;
Municipalities will have the ability to
decide whether or not they want to promote
wind energy;
The Niagara Escarpment and the Oak
Ridges Moraine will be protected from
wind turbines; and
Municipalities will receive their planning
powers for renewable energy back.
"Tim Hudak and the Ontario PCs are the
only party fighting to halt further wind tur-
bine development," said McNaughton. "I
have heard from thousands of people from
across l.antbton- Kent- Middlesex and they
if
Tim Hudak and the Ontario
PCs are the only party
fighting to halt further wind
turbine development
-- MIT Monte McNaughton
have told inc loud and clear that they would
like a pause, a moment to stop and consider
these developments prior to more shovels
breaking ground."
As outlined in the Ontario PC policy white
paper Paths to Prosperity: Affordable Energy,
McNaughton and the PCs propose winding
down the provinces Feed -in -Tariff Program
(FIT), immediately halting all new projects

still in the approval queue and stop
contracting for power we don't need,
at prices Ontario residents cannot
afford.
"In her throne speech Premier
Wynne said that she supported local
communities having their say on
energy projects, so 1 am expecting her
and her Liberal colleagues to be true
to their word and
vote to support of this bill. It's the
right thing to do," concluded
McNaughton.
