A scanned copy of the Shawmont report "AN INVENTORY OF SMALL HYDRO SITES FOR ENERGY SUPPLY TO THE ISLAND GRID" is linked to the article.<br /><br />The potential for reducing demand and getting rid of Holyrood is here: http://nlcpr.com/AvalonPowerDemand.php Main points include: declining population, Holyrood is needed for winter heat demand and geothermal can cut that by 80%, solar passive homes would slash consumption, Norway has similar problems and rebated heatpumps and pellet stoves. Bottom line, we absolutely do not need Muskrat Falls or the debt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235138415013046381.post-20259329034603894642012-07-11T12:45:26.369-02:302012-07-11T12:45:26.369-02:30Excellent article.

When will we ever learn from our sorry past? Not until the average person wakes up to the reality that those we put in charge of our affairs are not as altruistic as they make themselves out to be.<br /><br />The bankruptcy of the country of Newfoundland and the humiliation of having to be ruled by a Commission will be repeated if we continue with this folly called Muskrat Falls. It will not, and cannot EVER make any money for us as a people and will indebt us for generations.Crescent Lakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07952413987510754038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235138415013046381.post-1834739962381017842012-07-09T11:11:02.503-02:302012-07-09T11:11:02.503-02:30Excellect insightExcellect insightAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
