Currently, before Ministry of Natural Resources staff remove stop-logs from the Bala dams they first look to see that the resulting increased flow will not endanger people playing in or beside the water below.
But the proposed hydro-electric generating station would be automatically operated, with nobody checking for scuba divers or others that would be in the path of the suddenly and treacherously turbulent water exiting the tailrace.
Did you know that the proposed hydro-electric generating station’s cycling operation would begin at about noon most days of the summer, just when people would be in the seemingly safe water at the tailrace. The suddenly treacherously turbulent water would be almost impossible to swim out of and would push people out to the middle of the Moon River.
Seems to be an automated drowning machine.
Did you know that the MNR and proponent are nonetheless proceding with this insanity.
