Wind turbines in Collingwood will create perfect storm
Toronto Sun
Talk about a wing and a prayer.
As if the soaring cost of wind energy weren't enough, a plan to put 152-metre (500-feet) tall wind turbines next to Collingwood Regional Airport is just plain dumb.
Pilots and community members are up in arms, fearing the turbines will not only pose a safety hazard to planes, they'll limit the growth of the airport and hurt the region's economy — just as tourism is growing.
heir MPP says the massive towers — as high as the TD Centre — will intrude on airspace.
Worse, they’ll be painted white.
Hello? Is anyone thinking? Collingwood is in the snowbelt.
Pilots landing in poor visibility will have difficulty seeing the turbines.

Cessna says the diesel, from the French company SMA, is 42 per cent more fuel-efficient than the gasoline engine, more reliable and quieter, too.
