  3. Health Board Says the Shirley Wind Project is a Health Hazard
    By Eric Crest. CREATED Oct 17, 2014
    GLENMORE, WIS- This week the Brown County Health Board went on record declaring that wind turbines “are a human health hazard.”
    Folks living in the Glenmore area near the Shirley Wind Project have been saying this for years though, and now they have the health department on their side. By state statute wind turbines can be within 1250 feet of a home. The Brown County Board of Health says that’s too close for comfort.

  8. Rex Murphy: As Trudeau stumbles, Mulcair finds his moment
    Under Mr. Trudeau, the Liberals look very much like the older version of the NDP. The party disclaims the military — as in the ISIS affair — with a readiness very much in consonance with the NDP’s view of such matters. It strums the multicultural, inclusiveness, diversity guitar just as passionately as the party of social justice. And it is surely as green as the NDP. Windmills will find much favour in a Trudeau government.

  13. Rise of ‘social licence’: Claiming they speak for their community, protest groups are undermining the law
    National Post Jen Gerson | October 17, 2014
    The man who coined the term agrees that social licence has been oversimplified. But he remains optimistic about the value of community buy-in on major developments.
    Mr. Cooney points to the ambitious Kitimat LNG project in B.C. as an example. The company behind the liquified natural gas export terminal and a related pipeline has already agreed to pay $200-million to 15 affected First Nations communities, has guaranteed training for Aboriginals, and has located its plant on Haisla land, ensuring property tax revenues and other benefits.
    As a result, while the project is still undergoing regulatory review, it is not expected to be opposed like Northern Gateway.
    The answer, then, isn’t expanding social licence — it’s diminishing its influence.
    A piece on Politico.com this week, for example, argues that while environmentalists have been slamming Keystone XL, a much larger pipeline project shipping Alberta’s heavy crude to Canada’s East Coast has been put into motion. …
