Wind Energy in Peace Region Faces Visual Concerns
Michael Clark of Finaver argues the Peace Region has strong wind and aims to keep wind farms away from town centers due to visual impact. He notes Wildmere as the closest project, visible only to a few nearby residents, with turbines 80 to 90 metres tall. He cites environmental and energy security benefits and laments Canada’s reliance on imported power. He mentions options like Site C, coal plants, or wind energy to boost electricity.
