Ministers<br><br>Next week, next Thursday afternoon, the province will be debating the new anti-renewable energy bill from the PC’s, Bill 39 - <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.ontla.on.ca/bills/bills-files/40_Parliament/Session2/b039.pdf"><font color="blue"><u>http://www.ontla.on.ca/bills/bills-files/40_Parliament/Session2/b039.pdf</u></font></a></font></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;">

</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><font color="#1F497D">The
bill effectively ends the Green Energy Act, gives municipalities the
power to outlaw conservation investment. It would prohibit the placement of windmills along the Greenbelt and the Oak Ridges Moraine area. </font><br></span><div style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125); background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br></span></div><div style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125); background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><font color="#1F497D">I agree that not every location is suitable for windmills. Site specific considerations still must be given to protect rare species etc. but to prohibit them outright throughout the entire Oak Ridge's Moraine and the Greenbelt is clearly not acceptable in my view. <br></font></span></div></div><span style="font-size: medium;">
