Yeah, southern Ontario is super flat and mostly farmland. It's a great place for wind to set up. Solar as well, but solar takes up so much land that would be better used as farmland.
Unfortunately, a lot of the local communities consider the wind turbines eyesores and the current Premier is against them for that reason.
- eldaisfish 4y agothere are too many wind turbines concentrated in a small area in Chatham-Kent. I agree with the community’s sentiment though i am in the pro-renewable energy camp. They look horrible because there are too many of them.

Personally, I find the overhead power lines to be far uglier. The wind turbines look cool, but are barely visible from the road.
