2-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, November 2, 1983 Second Class Mail Regislration Number m0366 Published Every Wednesday at the office of PubHoatlon Main Street, Orono Roy C. Forrester, Editor THE POPULAR BOY ON THE BLOCK TO KNOCK Ontario Hydro has become the popular boy on the block to knock of late especially through the legislature by the opposition. There has been a call for the deferring of the Darlington Generating plant and in general a concern over hydro financing showing showing an increasing debt. The problems at Pickering and Bruce Generating Station has not helped the position of hydro as they continue to be plaqued with leaking tubes and spills. Although all are aware 6f the possible threat from nuclear power it still has to demonstrated that Ontario Hydro does not have control over the Candu reactor from which it gains its energy for the production production .of electricity. In fact it may be demonstarted that Hydro does have Control. The alternatives of oil and coal and especially coal are known to produce adverse conditions of which we wish not to live with and so at this point nuclear energy seems to be the best bet not only in safety but in cost to the Ontario hydro user. This cost factor may well prove itself over the long term even with the costly adjustments that.now have to be made by Ontario hydro. Ontario hydro still provides a product com- pareable to other utilities in Canada and at a greatly reduced cost to parts of the United States. This, however, is not to say they should not be more as economical as possible which we beleive over a period of years was not the case, Ontario Hydro, we feel did get caught up in .the mega project era as did other corporations with the'view the sky was the limit and even that need not have been restricted. Their expertise during this period was lacking and foresight left much to be desired. The board room doors, we contend, were closed to anything but expansion. But overall Ontario Hydro has served the province province and its residents well with a dependable hydro service and within a cost factor comparable to other utilities within Canada. more cents than Hollars The Ministry of Agriculture and Food are • folding a meeting in the Orono Arena Community;,' Centre on Tuesday, November 8th running from 1:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. to which all are invited to attend.
