Nearly a quarter (23%) of the wind energy around the Great Lakes comes from Illinois, whil than 3% of the Region’s wind energy (see Figure 2). Ontario accounts for 15% of the New York 1638 Ohio 428 e O 23 48 be concentrated in specific rural areas where there are ample wind resources and proximity to transmission lines, but low enough population densities to safely site turbines. As a result, residents across the Great Lakes Region may have widely varying familiarity and experiences with wind development. Figure 2 Installed wind energy, end of 2013 Ontario In order to set the stage for understanding the differing levels of support for wind energy throughout the Great Lakes Region, this report first describes the renewable energy policy environment in each of the states and provinces, and how that has translated into additional wind energy development in the last decade. It then looks at the results of the Great Lakes Region Public Opinion Survey, the specifics of which are discussed in greater detail in sections to follow. c Throughout this report, we intentionally distinguish between the Great Lakes Basin and Great Lakes Region, primarily because our survey was limited to the former while energy statistics and energy policy refer only to the latter. The Great Lakes Basin, in a geological sense, is the land area over which surface water drains into one of the five Great Lakes. Thus, it encompasses the watersheds of all rivers that flow into the Lakes. As seen in Figure 3, it is substantially smaller than the Great Lakes Region, which includes the eight US states and one Canadian province (Ontario) which touch at least one of the Lakes. While as a group, residents of the Great Lakes Basinc overwhelmingly support additional wind power development within the Region and see the beneficial rather than harmful impacts of wind energy, there remain a number of skeptics. Specifically, residents in Ontario tend to be less supportive of additional wind development and more believing of the potential negative consequences of wind energy than their American counterparts. There are a number of possible explanations for this difference that we hope to further explore. It could be due to more first- hand experience with wind turbines, it could be a result of increased exposure to controversy surrounding windfarms as a result of the rapid expansion of wind development in the province, or it could be backlash against the provincial government taking windfarm siting authority away from local municipalities. Alternatively, Ontarians’ skepticism of wind could be the result of more peripheral energy issues: increasing electricity prices in Ontario in recent years, or general dislike with provincial energy policy given its many shifts over the past decade.
