Derek Satnik: More wind than science in turbine debate (in the Toronto Star)

Derek Satnik is managing director at OntarioGreenSpec.ca and chief innovation officer at Mindscape Innovations Group Inc.

`The chief medical officer of Ontario publishes annual reports that mention the 9,000 Ontarians who die every year from respiratory ailments caused in part by emissions from coal-fired electric plants. Most of these deaths are seniors and children....

"... Why are we okay with letting 9,000 Ontarians die every year just so we can turn on the lights. Wind or no wind is missing the point: lights or no lights is a question that needs to be asked.

This is a problem that we can readily fix. Less coal and more wind seems obvious to me."

More wind than science in turbine debate.
