DUFFERIN WIND AKAK FARM OWNED POWER/LONGYUAN POWER NOT BEING A VERY NICE PART OF THE COMMUNITY

The Township of Melancthon is being forced into court  because the Chinese wind turbine company seems to feel none of the rules apply to them.
 
'Back in March, however, Dufferin Wind informed Melancthon council that it planned to temporarily store its wind turbines at Strada Aggregate’s facility in Melancthon.
According to Hill, council determined that wouldn’t comply with the township’s planning rules. Melancthon officials informed Dufferin Wind that the storage plan would require a zoning or Official Plan amendment.

Roberts said Dufferin Wind, which is owned by a North American subsidiary of China Longyuan Power Group Corporation Limited and Farm Owned Power (Melancthon) Ltd., aims to support local businesses whenever possible.'
Now why would our “local farmers” want to take their own municipality to court? 
 
And why would Strada be a party to this?
 
And it would appear the local business Dufferin Wind is supporting is the legal profession.

    This is a disgusting situation. If Melancthon doesn't fight this, it will set a precedent and ALL wind farms will simply roll over township laws. But the Chinese have even deeper pockets than Baupost. And one can't help but wonder if Herr Harper has his greasy hands in this. As for Strada, well, it's hard to believe that an aggregate company can be so thoughtless about local laws and townships...no. Wait. They don't give a damn either. Enough said.

  2. $3 Million would make you challenge the Township
