Lakeshore Advance, 2013-04-10, Page 88 Lakeshore Advance • Wednesday, April 10, 2013 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 HOME PLAN OF THE WEEK Albeck CONSTRUCTION TAMPED IF 1 RATIVE CONCRETE Installation • Cement Finishings Patios • Sidewalks • Driveways Pools • ICF Foundations Armour Rock Walls FREE ESTIMATES MOBILE 519-521-3271 Grand Bend Decor & Flooring Centre 48 Ontario St. N.
