bills jump by an average of nearly 12 per cent if the planned Energy East
pipeline proceeds, says a report released Thursday by the Ontario Energy Board.
The report also raises concerns about the potential impact of the pipeline,
which will pass through rural areas in Ottawa’s south end, on sensitive
waterways, singling out the Ottawa River, Rideau River and the Nepean and
Oxford-Marsh aquifers for special mention. via
