I can almost guarantee that neither the Competition Bureau nor Environment Canada nor any provincial government agency will even engage in the criticism; it's a no-go zone.

Canada's big bet on Europe's energy future starts in Nova Scotia but rests with EU lawmakers
Whether EverWind's green hydrogen/ammonia mega project goes ahead hinges on whether Europeans prove willing to pay a lot more money for energy that is low-carbon and doesn’t come from Russia.

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.

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.
