[All] Wind mill fancy

[Randy B. McLean]

Found out that there are "Provincial Standards" for renewable energy, but did not succeed in finding the document itself.

Searching a few Danish sites revealed that Danes are not all too happy with windmills as neighbours. 
The minimum setback in Denmark is 28 times the height of the windmill (tower + to the tip of a blade).
Minimum required setback for a 50 MW+ windmill in Ontario is 550m, and some of the towers in Ontario are 80m (not counting the blade) --- 28 times 80m = 2240m. 

Real-estate in little Denmark is a lot more cramped than it is here, but Danes apparently can afford better planning than we can.
