As the environmentalists line up to delay the pipelines heading south or west, the discussion continues over whether oil or coal is the worst polluter. At one time, we thought wind power was the answer to clean energy, but then it was activist versus activist as birds died. Now Canada’s best known Snowbird is against wind power, at least in her back yard. Anne Murray is upset with plans to put up a dozen turbines to catch the ocean breeze in Nova Scotia. She doesn’t want this sort of industrial development where tourists come to golf and retirees come to build their last beautiful homes. Indeed, Anne has a home there herself, and she’s afraid this development might stop and housing prices might fall. She wants Premier Darrell Dexter to stop the project before it starts generating emotions as well as electricity. Murray says she is in favor of alternative sources of power, but she says the environment and the location must be considered. Maybe she could get a hit song out of this. I can see the sheet music now. Lyrics by Bobby Nimby. Let me know what you think.
