The judicial review of the provincial Green Energy Act, requested by a Prince Edward County man, will go to court this fall.
Eric Gillespite, the lawyer for Ian Hanna of Big Island, says Hanna’s challenge questions whether there was scientific backing for the minimum 550-metre setbacks established in the act.
He says opponents of the act don’t have to prove wind turbines harm people, but only that they may, and the answer is still scientifically unproven.. The hearing date is September 30th at Toronto Superior Court.
