More Anti-Wind Power Appeals Dismissed

Ontario's Environmental Review Tribunal (ERT) recently dismissed two more anti-wind power appeals, this time relating to the same project. One of the appeals had a new feature: whether wind turbines interfere with weather forecasting radar. July 9, 2014, Fata v. MOE, ERT Registry Nos.: 13-145/13-146.

Saxe Law Office previously chronicled the history of anti-wind litigation since Ontario set up its rules for approving renewable energy under the Green Energy Act of 2009. There we outlined some of the challenges that have been made to date, including those made on the bases of alleged harm to human health or the environment. More recently, we reviewed the dismissal of an appeal that a proposed wind project would injure skydivers.  The challenges continue.
