A lot of the protests against the GH2 project on the Port-au-Port penn. have come across as reactionary, #NIMBY, opposed to jobs and success, etc.

That's pretty much true from what I've seen - but also, it's fair for the local to be upset. It's the whole peninsula at play here.

With land ownership what it is, there are likely many who literally feel this is their backyard - as known in the communities, though never formally registered with the crown (as in any of the outports). No denying it either, the 164 turbines there would not be subtle. And certainly.. 'IMBY'..
