WWF Eyes Civil Lawsuits

While activists continue to hold up construction of a turbine south of Wallaceburg, the brains behind Water Wells First is considering legal action against numerous individuals and organizations.

Water Wells First Protesters blockade a North Kent Wind turbine site on Bush Line, August 29, 2017.

Kevin Jacubec says that includes the farmers who have allowed turbines onto their land.

“We see the municipality as being libel for civil suits and we’ve been investigating legal action against the municipality, the Ontario government, the wind farm developers, and the farmers who’ve leased these turbines.”

Jacubec says he thinks municipal liability could top $100-million.

“This black water fiasco, which could have been stopped, is going to ruin this municipality and bankrupt this municipality with over $100-million in liability costs.”

The group continues to protest outside a Bush Line North Kent Wind construction site, bringing work on that turbine to a halt.
