Summary<\/strong>
\nUnless the provincial government acts to stop the risk of drowning tourists who could not be adequately warned of the extreme dangers the proposed hydro-electric generating station at the Bala falls would create, for the next 40 years, Ontarians and their children would be forced to pay more than double the renewable energy costs paid in other states and provinces \u2013 even when Ontario does not need the energy.
\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

Detail<\/strong>
\nAs noted <\/span>here<\/a>, the proposed hydro-electric generating station at the Bala falls would produce the least power when Ontario needs it the most (in the summer), and it would produce the most power when Ontario needs it the least (in the spring). So it would be useless.<\/span><\/p>\n

And for this useless power, Ontarians would pay more than 17\u00a0\u00a2\/kW\u2022h even when that power isn’t needed, and even though the two Ontario Power Generation station’s down the river produce power for about 4\u00a0\u00a2\/kW\u2022h.<\/p>\n

We know that in ye old’en days renewable energy costed more to produce, but here are the current facts:<\/p>\n
