I’m Doing it For the Children

Editor,

I’m doing it for the children. Our children. That’s why I’m an activist. And that’s why I participated in Save Georgian Bay’s Polar Bear Dip last Saturday when the water was 2°. I didn’t want to go into the water, but stopping TCE’s open-loop design is more important than staying comfortable.

Don’t get me wrong. We are in a climate crisis and we need more energy solutions. But TCE pumped storage project is an open-loop design. And I’m worried the open-loop design will pollute Georgian Bay, and damage her forever.

All over the world there are pumped storage projects, but the designs are closed-loop. Not TCE’s. Dear readers, learn about this project and decide for yourselves.

Yes, I’m an activist on behalf of our children, so their future can include the Georgian Bay we’ve taken for granted; the source of our clean drinking water, a place where fish can thrive, a place that draws people to boat and swim. Isn’t this the place we call Meaford, our home? Do you really think Georgian Bay will be the same if we have a power plant on our shoreline, up on the DND Military base?
