Headline: “Hundreds of wind turbines could be SINKING due to design flaw” Salient details: They're sinking by a “few inches”, there are “no safety or operational issues” and the cost of repairs to effected turbines will only cost M£50 (I say 'only' as the article goes on to describe how the industry can expect B£130 of investment over the next decade or so). People may well have objections to wind farms but they should state them honestly - disingenuous headlines and cod-economics won't wash. Typical Daily Mail rhubarb this.

On the south shore Kingsville and Lemington are saying not in Lake Erie. The sinking turbines might give them an aid in the fight. In Kent County, east of Essex they are welcomeing the turbines on the farms. Leamington On. has H J Heinz plant that at one time was the largest food processing pplant in the British Empire. Thats what they told us in school then,maybe it was just a Leamington thing The story about the turbines in the water might have some sffect on Essex County On., the residents of Lakeshore on the north of the county are concerned about plans for Lake Saint Clair.
