Rick Nicholls wants assurances that other turbine towers in south Raleigh won't topple over like one did last week. The Chatham-Kent-Leamington MPP knows the company is looking into the cause of the collapse, but said Monday, "I want to call on the ownership of those turbines to do a thorough inspection of all the remaining turbines in that wind farm." Nicholls said he wants to know the results of the investigation, including the company that built the turbine towers, as "there could be a flaw in the engineering, which could cause another one to come down."
The MPP is also renewing his call for a moratorium to halt constructing industrial wind turbine projects across Ontario until the turbine collapse and other issues, including the impacts on area water wells, are dealt with.
