Today I celebrated Global Wind Day in Stevensville, Ontario.

DMI Inc. opened its doors to show its wind turbine tower production line. One hundred and eighty local people have worked there since 2006. The community embraces wind energy.

The Ontario Minister of Energy listened to my concerns. I was able to inform him about our petition for wind, solar and biomass to start a real conversation with our local municipalities of Kincardine and Huron-Kinloss. 

There is a lot of opportunities out there. We just have to start thinking with an open mind and be creative. It is a joy to see how many friends of wind I was able to meet.

I started to speak publicly pro-wind since the beginning of April. Last week, I spoke in person with Huron-Bruce MPP Carol Mitchell and received a lot of respect from her for my fearless and passionate courage to give people a voice.

More than 80 countries are using wind energy on a commercial basis today.

”Wind energy has become the locomotive of the change of the energy system worldwide, declared WWEA President Dr. Anil Kane in Bonn (Germany). "Wind is one of the fastest-growing energy sources, and today one of the most economical solutions for electricity.”
