Concerns over Wind Turbines in Belwood

I was talking to friend of mine who has a pork finishing operation just outside of Fergus. Her and her husband also hold off-farm jobs, and are very involved and informed members of their community. She asked me what I thought of the proposed wind-turbine project that will be in her neck of the woods. She heard they will be twice as high and spread out farther than the wind turbines at Shelburne, Ontario. She has also felt and heard much concern and anxiety from friends and neighbours. Now she is also concerned.

What do I think...that perception is the most important thing, making community leadership or at the very least community partnership an upfront requirement for a successful project.

What do you think?
