As far as I understood it, they weren't torn down as much as the contract was cancelled and more weren't built.
I live in Windsor-Essex and still see new windmill projects going up all the time.
- pjc50 4y agoThat links says that (a) they were torn down, complete or incomplete, and (b) the company was paid a (huge!) contract break fee for this, as you would expect.
- ipaddr 4y agoHuge as in the price of Twitter 44 billion or the 1 billion breakup fee?
- bshipp 4y agoYes, apparently they tore down 4 turbines, which is a waste of money. But if you've ever been to Chatham-Kent you'd notice that there are places where you can do a 360 degree turn and never see fewer than 10 windmills in your field of vision. Ontario has 2,600 wind turbines. https://www.nationalobserver.com/2020/10/23/news/wind-turbine-database-canada https://www.nationalobserver.com/2020/10/23/news/wind-turbin....
