An Ontario Power Generation report to the province says new dams need to be built in Northern Ontario to meet the province's anticipated demand for electricity
The last time the dam developers came north, it was to provide power to divert rivers flowing into Hudson's and James Bay and send the water south to the United States. The water plot was carried out in secret and was called the the North American Water and Power Alliance . It was conceived by Bechtel Engineering in California and a study on hydraulic resources was carried out by the Northern Ontario Coordinating Committee on Water Resources.
After a century of industrial development many Northerners are getting fed-up with projects that present great opportunities without first examining the environmental and social costs. If barriers such as dams and impoundments are built in rivers there are certainly upstream and downstream affects. Further downstream below Lake Nipigon, pickerel beds along Lake Helen were silted over by increased water flow from the Ogoki Diversion created in 1942 to replace water being withdrawn from the great Lakes by the Americans at Chicago and dumped into the Mississippi Watershed. Compensation was never paid. This time, the deal to native communities is, we'll share the profits with you so food can be bought.
