Number of Turbines = 429

Approx 30,000 hectares of lands were optioned for wind power development in Ontario to accomodate the above turbines, much of it was useable farmland.

Carbon dioxide emissions calculated to have been displaced (if claims are accurate): 430grams x 211MW per hr. = approx. 91,000 grams per hour.

While not advocating for nuclear power over wind power, it is noteworthy that Ontario would need more than 1200 wind turbines and almost 100,000 hectares in order to be able to shut down ONE nuclear station equivalent to Bruce A G3. You do the math - there are 14 nuclear plants in Ontario today.
