Wind power developer records protesters in Prince Edward County
WPD’s slogan: “Wind has no limits.” Apparently, greed doesn’t either.
MILFORD Ont., September 28, 2015—
As more than 300 residents of Prince Edward County gathered on Sunday to protest the assault on their community and the environment by two wind power projects (Ostrander Point and White Pines, both being appealed) Germany-based wind power developer wpd Canada recorded the event, including speeches given by various presenters.
“Shame on them,” says Paula Peel, secretary for the Alliance to Protect Prince Edward County (APPEC).
If the power developer’s presence recording people was meant as an intimidation tactic, it didn’t work, Peel says.
The organizers did a brisk business selling T-shirts and protest signs, she says. “If you didn’t come to the rally with a T-shirt or sign, it’s likely you left with one.”
“The one thing wpd will take away from our rally is that the fight is only just beginning.”
