Windmill foes are full of hot air

     My article is talk about new energy technology. Last week, the government of Ontario plant to build wind farms in the Great lakes. It seems like a great thing to help our environment. But still there are some people against it, because they worry about wind farms may have bad effect.

     An environment minister John Wilkinson said on CBC Radio, that wind farms are not like others around the world. The wind farms would be not built in the sea but in the water lakes. That may cause bed pollute for Toronto‘s drink water. He also gives an example of Walkerton about polluted drink water. Another problem he said is the noise from windmills. But other studies shown there are no direct effects from windmills.

    Even though we already know some effects from windmills on bird and marine life, but if we compare the windmills plain with other energy sources, like coal plants and nuclear plants. They still are a good way of generating energy.
