The Controversy of Wind Turbines and Alternative Energy Part II
May 12th, 2009 | 
In my last post I wrote about the controversy surround wind turbines. Here are a couple of links to news stories about them.
The first story is about the negative effects wind turbines can have, especially when they are placed extremely close to people’s homes.

The second story has to do with Toronto Hydro’s plans to build a wind farm off of the shores of the Scarborough Bluffs in Lake Ontario.

Both are very interesting and I encourage you to watch them.
As I have mentioned before, we need to move towards green energy, but that move can not override all other aspects of life. We need to make sure that we are considering noise levels, wild life, and other environmental impacts. It’s only if we do this that we will truly be able to consider the energy green.
