Letter to the Editor, Courier-Islander, Published: Wednesday, February 17, 2010
I want to reply to Leona Adams' letter of Feb. 5th especially the section on closed containment pens for farmed salmon operations. So here are more facts to stick to.
I can hardly wait for the hue and cry in our community when 72 three-metre deep Timberline football fields are proposed for a location near Campbell River to deal with the present market requirements for just one company.
Never mind the noise of the vast number of pumps and the fuel trucks to service them. No technology for such massive tidal power requirements exists so the net effect on the environment by burning fossil fuels to supply hydro or run the pumps would be greater than the present system.
Sticking to the facts.
