Wolfe Island Wind Farm

The 86 gigantic wind turbines on Wolfe Island are clearly visible from Kingston and while crossing on the ferry. They are not visible, once in the village but are omnipresent when cycling or driving on the east end of the island.

The wind farm generates enough power to meet the needs of 75 households, but has been very controversial for several reasons, not the least of which is the mortality rate of birds and especially bats out there on the Lake Ontario fly-way.
