Wind turbines threaten Juno Beach

JUNO BEACH — For decades, visitors to D-Day beaches on France's northwest coast have looked out at the English Channel, taking in the journey made by Allied troops that marked a turning point in the Second World War.

The view from some of those sites, including Juno Beach, where 359 Canadians died, could soon change if a plan succeeds to build an army of wind turbines some 10 kilometres offshore. Canadians have a chance to voice their opinions on that plan as a French commission holds public consultations on the project.
The commission has made it a point to invite people from Canada, the U.S. and Britain to weigh in.[Mississauga]
