An Ontario company is planning to invest $200 million in the expansion of two separate wind farm projects in Cumberland County. Springhill Riverhurst Wind Power Ltd., represented by 3G Energy Corp., is holding a pair of public meetings in Rodney and Westchester next week to discuss the addition of 72 turbines between the two locations before 2010.

The head of a citizens group fighting a proposed wind farm in the Gulf Shore area is asking the province to stop the project until its safety can be proven. “Please err on the side of caution and call a moratorium of all wind power developments that are any closer than two kilometres of a residence until independent and government research has been done to establish the safe and healthy distance from a turbine people should be living,” Lisa Betts said in a letter to Premier Rodney MacDonald.

Charles Demond is not happy. Days after singer and part-time Gulf Shore resident Anne Murray came out publicly against a proposed wind farm near her summer home, the project’s developer fired back saying Murray’s comments will only inflame the situation there. “It’s not helpful at all for the business of our company and wind farms at large to have someone like Anne Murray saying this is going to be a catastrophe for the area,” Demond said. “We don’t accept that and it’s categorically not true. If she did any bit of research she’d come to that conclusion herself.”
