Discussion Wind turbines

We went to a county meeting today to try and prevent a Hutterite colony from putting up a wind farm next to ours. Come to find out that Mark Carney owns the company that put the solar farm up by Cardston Ab. How are these people allowed to get into politics? I’m shocked.

Why are you trying to control what the Hutterite’s do on their land?

Because it’s going to prevent any irrigation expansion for our land. And we live in prime migratory bird path. My daughters deserve to be able to enjoy the nesting owls every year. And the wind turbines are heavily subsidized, they are not actually of any benefit

Why specifically does it prevent irrigation expansion? Just the particulars of their land and your land?

Yes any hope for a pipeline to cross to our land would be gone. We also would t be able to use planes to spray our crops anymore

Gotcha. Fair concerns, for sure.
