In other words we are in very close proximity. Like all of our neighbours we strongly oppose this for all the...

Reader: Pumped Storage Facility Will Never Pay For Itself

Letters to the Editor - 0
Letter to the Editor Editor, More on the TC Energy proposal… Being 'green' is not just reducing our energy consumption but also being efficient with the energy we do use. There is only one real cost of electricity. The pricing with peak rates and off-peak rates is a fabrication of government and the electrical producers to misdirect us from the fact...

Reader Opposes Proposed Bill 136

Letters to the Editor - 0
Letter to the Editor Editor, The bill Bill Walker is touting is disguised as a bill to ban UNDERCOVER CRUELTY VIDEOING. This cannot happen! Without these brave souls who document the intense cruelty happening 24/7 at the Factory Farms the public would have no idea what is going on to the chickens, dairy cows, pigs, etc.GIVE THE ANIMALS A BREAK!

Reader: Pumped Storage Will Not Reduce CO2

Letters to the Editor - 0
Letter to the Editor Editor, TC Energy’s December 12th response to my previous call for 'Sensibility' regarding CO2 abatement programs is misleading and erroneous. This project will not “turn a 100% loss into a 75% gain”. We do not have to spend $3.3 billion to salvage electrical energy sold to the U.S. A sensible solution to energy surplus in Ontario would be...

Pumped Storage?… Sensibility Please!

Letters to the Editor - 0
Letter to the Editor Editor, With due respect to the November 14th opinions Mr. Eric Brown and those of like mind express over the virtues of pumped energy storage as a means to reduce CO2 emissions, I believe we are in need of a 'reality check' on the basis of both physics and economics. Pumping water uphill and then extracting energy from...

Damage to Fairgrounds Property

Letters to the Editor - 0
Letter to the Editor Editor, Regarding your rant in the November 21 print issue of The Independent, not only are dim bulbs in the community causing damage to public parks but also private land owned by the Meaford and St Vincent Agricultural Society. Sometime between Wednesday, November 20 evening and noon on Thursday, November 21, the same dim bulbs or their equally...
