How long do wind turbines last?
A wind turbine typically lasts around 20-25 years. During this time maintenance is required of course.
The period for reviewing the Environmental Assessment reports and Environmental Protection Land Laws for the wind project is coming to a close soon. There have been informational mail outs which included forms for input and there have been open public meetings.
Henvey Inlet Wind LP is asking the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) for permission to construct approximately 103 kilometres of 230 kilovolt electricity overhead transmission line and associated facilities. The transmission line would connect the company’s Henvey Inlet Wind Energy Centre to the provincial power grid.
What are the impacts on health due to noise?
A heated debate about health problems associated from being too close to the turbines is occurring in the media; newspapers, online, YouTube, etc.
Honestly, there is so much information circulating about health issues that it is hard to know which side to believe.
The Government is armed with studies that claim that they are safe.
