Jim Milner, who lives on the John Black Road, is preparing a submission to the project environmental assessment claiming that its existence threatens the future of the John Lusby Marsh as a wildlife habitat. “Wildlife is the property of the Crown so it is the duty of the province to protect wildlife, not sell to the lowest proponent bidder,” Milner said in his submission. “Environment Canada is responsible for preserving and enhancing the quality of the natural environment and it needs to be respected, protected and conserved. These areas must be avoided for the use of turbines.” http://www.atlanticenergy.ca/home/tabid/36/EntryID/319/Default.aspx http://www.atlanticenergy.ca/home/tabid/36/EntryID/319/Default.aspx#Comments http://www.atlanticenergy.ca/Default.aspx?tabid=36&EntryID=319 Thu, 15 May 2008 04:00:00 GMT 1 http://www.atlanticenergy.ca/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=319 HALIFAX - Nova Scotia Power awarded the latest in a series of long-term contracts to add wind power to the provincial grid to a joint venture by Skypower Corp. and Scotian Windfields Inc.
