Its original backers promoted it as a showcase for the benefits of wind energy, billing it as "the most visible wind turbine in Canada" with its location along the shore of Lake Ontario, just west of downtown. (David Donnelly/CBC)WindShare's own blog about the Exhibition Place turbine shows it has been plagued with problems over the past five years. A worker pulls on a rope to help guide the blades while installing the wind turbine at Exhibition Place on Dec. 18, 2002. "It hasn't come anywhere close to that," said Parker Gallant, vice president of Wind Concerns Ontario, a group critical of the province's wind turbine policies. Repairs to the wind turbine cost $100,000.
