If you’ve fought the wind industry long and hard enough you’ll be able to practically identify characters in this drama (that plays more like a documentary). For once the inside of the wind industry is shown, and it’s not an exaggeration. Terror, gag clauses, dirty money, carbon schemes, threats, legal weasels, lies upon lies – sound familiar? Sounds like the wind industry in Ontario. Those who haven’t lived it might find it entertaining, but those who have been through the wind wringer will see it as brutally and gut wrenchingly real.
Watch online: CBC – “Follow the Money“

Barbara, you’ve been saying “Follow the money” for a long time now regarding the turbines here in Ontario. I wish that CBC would do a documentary on the real story and the financial connections behind both the climate change alarmism and all funding associated with it including the industrialization of rural Ontario with turbines.
This story needs to be told.
UCS has been involved in U.S. auto industry affairs.
An no one can relate to this in Ontario?

Michigan can generate about half the solar power that places such as the southwestern U.S. can. Same is true for Ontario.
Solar is a poor resource for Michigan as well.
Michigan residents need to know the facts.
Thanks Barbara, will try to get these people to see this.
