    What's the story here?
    The measure of a man is not how much power he has, it's how he wields it.

    I grew up hunting and fishing up there, before the connector and the beetle. Now these ugly pieces of shit ruining the skyline with huge industrial traffic as a added bonus! Way to go Christie you greedy bitch.

    From what I hear about the ones near Pincher Creek, Ab all game animals hate the noise of them and they vacant the area for miles around.

    actually they are not that bad at all and game animals adapt very easily . I like them but there will always be uninformed naysayers and people that just don't like anything different. Its like all the treehugging bunnylovers that hate logging or mining or oil and gas yet use the end result..

    Don't burn oil, don't burn coal, don't build a dam, don't build windmills..... but please let me keep my lights on and my hot tub warm.

    Come on folks, region 2 and all it's energy suckers needs power and it has to come from somewhere.
    If an animal is going to die so that I might live, the least I can do is perform the unsavoury deed myself.

    Pennask Wind Power Project

    Click to enlarge

    The Pennask Wind Generation Power Project is a ZED initiative to construct and operate a 15 Megawatt (MW), 5 turbine wind power generation project in British Columbia’s Thompson Okanagan region. ZED has developed the project in order to supply clean, renewable, greenhouse gas-free power to BC Hydro.
    Construction is now underway during which an estimated 15 to 80 opportunities for contract employment have been created, and Turbines are expected to go up in late Fall 2016. Please click here for regular updates.
    Located approximately 44 km west of Kelowna, BC, the Pennask Wind Power Generation Project will supply enough electricity to power approximately 2,500 homes.
    For more information on ZED’s wind projects please contact us.
