of Pincher Creek, has been targeted for some very significant transmission development solely for the purpose of connecting wind,” said Lambright.Ĭompanies that undertake wind energy projects and transmission line projects are required to carry out environmental assessments as part of their submissions to the Alberta Utilities Commission. “Because of the wind development occurring in all of southern Alberta, our particular area in the eastern slopes of the M.D. Transmission lines, substations and other electrical infrastructure, as well as access and service roads, become necessary. Wind development involves much more than turbines, she added. “As that development gets more and more concentrated, the risk both to the plants, the unique plants that we have, and to the wildlife that rely on those plants, becomes much, much greater.”
THE PRODUCERS LOVE POWER FULL
“We are also the last one percent of the great plains of North American … and the only area that still has virtually a full complement of native species,” she said. Lambright said renewable energy is an important consideration in view of climate change but protection of Alberta’s dwindling native grassland is vital. The LLG was instrumental in halting the proposed Windy Point wind generation project that would have seen 12 turbines installed on privately owned land within the M.D. A former utility company executive, she is also a member of the Livingstone Landowners Group (LLG) that is concerned about wind projects and associated transmission line projects that damage native grassland and impede the region’s scenic views of the Rocky Mountains. Flash, flash, flash for the airplanes.”īobbi Lambright lives on rural property in the M.D. On top of that, the nighttime lighting is driving some of them nuts.

“The visual effects have turned landowners against the industry. “That’s quite an impression on the landscape,” said Scott. Towers in more recent projects are 175 metres. The first commercial wind facility in Canada at Cowley Ridge, erected in 1993-94, had turbines 24.5 metres high. “It seems like there’s a lot already but there’s another third yet to come and that begins to start to tell the story of where Pincher is … a question about land capacity and how much carrying capacity the land has for wind turbines,” Scott told the Southern Alberta Energy Forum. Projects now under construction or pending will increase that number to about 400. The municipality has 236 installed wind turbines. That had dropped to 54 percent in favour in the last survey done in 2017. He said the first survey of residents, done in 2006, showed 90 percent were in favour of wind development. Roland Milligan, director of development and community services with the Pincher Creek M.D., confirmed those figures. That leaves us at about 55 percent for, 45 percent against,” said Gavin Scott, senior planner with the Oldman River Regional Services Commission. What you do to my flower, man? You hurt it, like everything else Everything else.“In each five year increment, starting with 1996, there’s been a 20 percent drop in the approval of the citizens for wind within our municipality.

There would be one big smell-in Just the flowers. I'm talking about love power The power of a sweet flower is gonna rule the earth And there'll be a great rebirth Love is a flower that is fine When I'm walkin' with my darlin' and we're holding hands And life is fine, 'cause she understands 'A walking down the sunny street Givin' pretty flowers to the people that we meet And I give a flower to the big fat cop He takes his club and he beats me up I give a flower to the garbage man He stuffs my girl in the garbage can And I give it to the landlord, when the rent comes 'round He throws it in the toilet and he flush it down It goes into the sewer with the yuck running through her And it runs into the river that we drink Hey world, you stink! Ah, man it's later than you think Girl you got just one more chance Come on baby, while I dance Love, love power I'm talking 'bout love power The power of a little flower You don't think 'bout no little flowers Oh no, all you think about is guns If everybody in the world today had a flower instead of a gun There would be no wars.
