The two women in Lincoln, Ontario
who 'have been moved by Ontario
Hydro's Latest plans to hit their
customers with another rate increase,
to cut their dependence on electric
power, deserve our sympathy.
The two, each the mother of six
children, were interviewed in a CBC
radio program and say they are so fed
up with the high cost of electric power
from our provinces supplier that they
are going to do without it.'One woMan
says her family Is going to use a
battery powered generator for
household needs. The other Js going
back to a coal and wood stove and to
oil lamps for reading.
While not mady of. us would be
,prepared to be as drastic as these
ladies to show our displeasure with
•conti'nued hydro rate increases, most.
'people agree that power bills seem
too high.
Costs are -going up all over of
course. But we would like to see it
spelled out -so that everyone can
understand just where the increased
toll that Hydro,customers can expect
will be spent. `
Will it.go for expensive frills like
the new'head office I) Toronto built
by Ontario. Premier Bill Davis'. friend
the developer Gerhard Moog?
1A ill -it pay for -1, onstr`ii 1 rt of

Or will the rate increases be used to
finance planning for a nuclear power
'Plant in Huron -County?
Many people feel that the need for
such a, plant can be questioned. Other
groups say that the construction of
another nuclear plant in the area will
do harm ', to 'Agriculture, to
surrounding communities and to the
environment that will outweigh the,
possible benefits of more nuclear
power.
Others share the feeling of --the
Humin County group called `CAN'T
DU which questions the safety.of all
nuclear plants:, ' 11 -
Ontario Hydro has to face the
Ontario Energy Board to justify its
need. for a rate increase. in the past
few years increases have usually been
scaled down by the board., but
granted in some form.
We think Ontario Hydro' needs to,
• justify their future plans and policies
to the taxpayers who are both owners
and customers of the power monopoly
that is the only game in town. Ontario
Hydro (lake :Bell Canada) Is In a very
powerful 'position (no pun intended).
If o„ y ou are a hydro or a phone
customer:ypu: play by their -rules or,
you don't. play at all.
There's no going .down the street to
get these goodies from another store
if you're offended by these companies
or don't like their prices. That's why,
it seems to us, that they have a
special duty to let us comment oil and
debate the merits of their plans.
We have a suspicion that Ontario
Hydro's need for bigger and bigger
ate increases comes from planning
fat the boom type consumption of
eiectrical power that dates frorR the
wasteful sixties, not the energy a

According to sf,,a 9, 4.'s ,fromOhtario

down, not up, since a' peak in the
sixties. ,

are right to question whether or not
