Divisional court has slashed the amount of legal costs four Southwestern Ontario families will have to pay to three wind-turbine companies building huge windmills near their homes as part of Ontario’s alternative energy program. The turbine firms had demanded #$340,000 from the local homeowners near Goderich because they lost their action to have the construction of wind farms stopped on health and environmental grounds. The court said that $67,000 was the proper amount. The court noted that the families fight against the wind turbines was more than a personal crusade. Globe and Mail
