Is the wind green? Nova Scotia's big wind bet would help Canada and Europe, but comes at a cost Offshore wind may be years out, but onshore wind power is getting built now and ramping up fast in Nova Scotia.

Note: the article states EverWind wind farm #1 in Guysborough is behind “St. Patricks Harbour”. There is no “St. Patricks Harbour” in Nova Scotia. It’s St. Francis Harbour…and this is just one of the many communities impacted due to the vast project size.
