On March 3, 2011 the Canadian Superior Court of Justice ruled against anti-wind activists on a government regulation on how far a wind turbine must be from a residential dwelling.  The law states that a wind turbine must be 550 meters from a dwelling, but wind activists were stating that the distance wasn’t enough.

“If the minister followed the process mandates by the Environmental Bill of Rights, his decision is unassailable on a judicial review application.”

“It is not the court’s function to question the wisdom of the minister’s decision, or even whether it was reasonable,” the court ruled Thursday.
