February's election-minded announcement that the Ontario government has placed a moratorium on offshore windfarm development was a cowardly, backwards-looking decision. Fearful of voters' groups opposed to wind turbines "ruining" their lake views, the government caved against unwarranted and limited protests.
It is time for the government to choose 2 or 3 Lake Ontario projects and a few more in other lakes as a test project, and then expand the program as more data and opportunities surface. Our province needs to phase out both coal-fired and atomic fission electricity generation, and both land-based and offshore wind energy developments will be core components of our 21st Century energy infrastructure mix.
