Letter to the Editor of today's The Journal Pioneer, PEI
We live in Cape Wolfe in Western P.E.I., in the middle of the West Cape Wind Farm.
This is a call to our premier and our environment minister to put a halt to all construction of wind farms being built on P.E.I., and especially West Prince, until our government has in place some very strict guidelines and regulations, to protect our environment, our residential landowners (full time and seasonal), our communities, our wetlands, our farmland, our wildlife, our tourist trade, and most importantly, the health and well-being of our people.
A prime example of what can happen when there are no regulations is our community. Please come and see for yourselves. Remember, this can happen in your community as well. All the great things we hear about these electrical generating stations are coming from the people who have the most to gain. Now is the time to show what people power can do.
If you are interested in joining us, please email me: bevhoward@ymail.com and write to our ministers to let them know how you feel.
All the reasons we chose to build and retire in this quite, peaceful, beautiful community are gone. Our community has been raped of all the reasons people chose to live in the country.
If we wanted to listen to a constant rumble and flickering sunlight we would have moved to a more urban centre.
Beverley Howard,
Cape Wolfe
