Like many people I have many questions regarding industrial wind turbines. Some are general, some are specific to Prince Edward County. I’ve tried to list them within fairly broad subject headers, but many cross overs do exist and not all will be cross referenced so please have a hunt around! Please also use the Categories drop down in the margin to search. I’ll have certainly missed off many so please educate me with any I have yet to address. These links will take you to pages listing my questions and my conclusions – as and when answers are provided by various sources.

Most questions and thoughts reflect my initial research, I’ll go through and add the sources when I have a little more time!!
