Can someone look into who owns this company?

Example, someone they went to highschool with is a councillor in Milton, so he approaches them and they come up with a scheme to get Milton to pay for the units.

Milton paying 100% sounds fishy. Especially when they were approached.

Issue: MOU on wind turbine pilot at Milton Sports Centre.

I support the continued efforts of the Town and Milton Hydro to study and make use of wind, solar or geothermal power where it's economically feasible to do so. However I have a concern that the MOU does not mention possible noise pollution from the turbines. Though my own research I did find some possible citations that mention vertical wind turbines may have a lower noise signature than conventional horizontal wind turbines. But I'd still like to know that any possible noise pollution is addressed at an early stage as there are residential homes close by.

Some additional questions I have are;
(1) Are the banners meant to be electrical/digital or fixed? From the digital image on schedule B it looked non-electronic but I wasn't sure
(2) Is power generated by the turbines meant to be returned to the grid or used by the Sports Centre
(3) Is there anyway this can be structured to take advantage of the provincial MicroFIT program? (assuming that if so it would have increased financial benefits)
(4) What range of power (broad question, not looking for exact number) might be generated by these 2 turbines?

Thank you for considering these questions as well as the critical issue of ensuring that noise generation will not be detrimental to nearby residents.

I applaud the town and Milton Hydro's continued efforts on looking for ways that solar, wind or geothermal energy can be utilized in an economical manner within Milton.

Action: Answers to my concerns.
Updating the MOU in relation to noise pollution if the answer on noise is vague or unsure.

In support: Friendly support of staff recommendation as long as noise levels are ensured to not affect nearby residents.

What about the Benjamins? How many are we on the hook for and what does the risk/revenue equation look like?

I'd pay more for a pair of shoes if they were made here and the workers making them were paid a decent wage instead of being made in a sweat shop that exploits people. Shouldn't we make similar concessions as a society to reduce our impact on the environment? Or does the environment have to be a commodity before we assign more value to it?

(Sincere question, not a shot... internet voices always sound so aggressive!)

Have you read the Memo about this issue?!?!? The Town (Milton Hydro) wants to foot 100% of the cost for this project and in return they are happy with 15% of the revenue.

I get the impression that you intended your internet voice to be aggressive...

No, I don't drive a prius and that would have nothing to do with what is being discussed. What you just did is an attempt at an ad hominem attack... attack the messenger to discredit their message. Moving along.

So, you're all for Go Green stuff so long as it doesn't cause economic harm. In other words, you DO want to save the environment, but only if it doesn't cost more than harming the environment.

I think a pilot project like this is very valuable and I'd be more than happy even if my tax dollars were used to pay for it. Because I care about the environment, not my image. I'm not going to say we should bankrupt ourselves, but the cost of not adopting technologies like this is much greater.

Milton Hydro pays 100% but gets 85%
