L3T 2A3 over Darlin on completion To the Editor: Our current Premier and former leader of the Opposition, David Peterson, has decided, unfortunately, to follow the rule of politicians all over the world. '44Don't say in power what you say in Opposition; if you do, you only have to carry out what the other fellows have found impossible." (John Galsworthy). After a year-long review, (which now appears to have been artificially staged), reterson's Ontario urovernment has decid- ed to complete, construction of the $11 billion Darlington _Nuclear Power Plant. Our Premier is reported to be on holidays (a euphemism for "got out of town") ,and left this revelation to Energy Minister Vincent Kerrio, (the previous energy critic). This decision has quickly been labelled by, one opposition member as a 'mega -mistake'', The Premier must cringe an rue the days when, in opposition, he -uttered the following choice remarks about Darlington: I. "Darlington is a blackhole in Hydro's electrical generating network, soaking up enormous amounts of money and manpow- er at the expense of other worthwhile programs which could be implemented for the public good." What kind of madness is this that causes us to invest such enormous financial and physical resources in a project (Darlington) that is not needed and will only hasten our dependence on a nuclear industry which is currently under serious question?" ` ....Hydro planners have made a terrible miscalculation and are pushing ahead to save face rather than admit their e canna, as a society, allow Darlington to proceed," 5. "Accidents in nuclear plants and the resulting costly shutdowns are not the only sorry consequence of a nuclear centred system of power generation. The high costs of nuclear plant construction now threatens to push rates to customers sky high. They, are hitting all of us in the pocketbook and, in fact, are jeopardizing the very financial soundness of our province." 6. "In the past, 1 have described Hydro as a monster out of control." 7, "Darlington must be stopped and a program of diversification of electrical production launched." As readers •are aware, The Central Ontario Coalition is fighting Hydro's attempt to include a Bruce toEssa transmission line out of its Bruce Nuclear Power Plant. This line is part of a half billioh dollar Hydro undertaking which wilt be paid for by you, the Ontario -taxpayer. A hearing is currently being held before a Joint Board to review the Hydro plan. Our Coalition sought modest funding from Peterson's government to prow - sible opposition and balance to Hydro's presentation. Peterson refused. We have accordingly labelled the hearing unfair. • The Joint Board has even refused to appoint its own independent experts. It seems that this government is unwilling to ensure a fair hearing of the issues. Yet witness the current and horrendously ex- pensive Fontaine and Caplan conflict of interest hearings and re-election, Just a Mali portion of the cost of the recent, farcial Fontaine by-election would have Met - our funding request. The Govern- ment's priorities are painfully wrong; Our Premier was certainly right when he said ,Hydro was a monster out of control. Now that he has the power, his tune has changed. Shakespeare, in his astute manner, had a line, for this. "Trust none; For oaths are straws, men's faiths are wafer -cakes." • Jack A.
