Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hydro-Electric Development in Ontario: A History of Water-Power Administration, Under the Hydro-Electric Power, Commission of Ontario The story of the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario should now be given to the world, if only because it has become the largest generator and distributor of electric energy in existence, and has already accomplished results worthy of a province whose hydraulic power resources are in some respects unique. To students of public affairs the record will be of peculiar value for another reason - that the principles upon which it has been evolved mark a new adventure in the field of economic legislation and because, among the municipalities comprised in the system, the co-operative plan of public ownership was developed in the face of the strongest body of private corporation interests ever arrayed against a public reform. No one will claim that the working of the Commission has been perfect - if it had attained perfection from the start it would have been superhuman - but its achievements cannot now be questioned, and they challenge comparison with privately owned public-service corporations either on the ground of efficiency or economy of administration. What of the future of the great water powers of Canada? What, especially, is to be done with the waters of the Niagara and the St. Lawrence? The plea for the preservation of the scenic beauty of Niagara Falls has for some years operated to check further diversions of water from the Falls for power purposes. Happily this plea has incidentally put a stop to the further exploitation of this power for private gain. But the Commission, in bringing cheap power and light to the communities in thousands of square miles of territory in Ontario, has created a new kind of vested interest in hydro-electric power - a vested interest which is the right and endowment of the humblest citizen and which aims at no advantage except the welfare of the whole people.

Download or read book White Gold written by Karl Froschauer and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past fifty years, Canadians have seen many of their white-water rivers dammed or diverted to generate electricity primarily for industry and export. The rush to build dams increased utility debts, produced adverse consequences for the environment and local communities, and ultimately resulted in the layoff of 25,000 employees. White Gold looks at what went wrong with hydro development, with the predicted industrial transformation, with the timing and magnitude of projects, and with national and regional initiatives to link these major projects to a trans-Canada power grid.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hydro responded to demands from residents of farms and hamlets for a fair share of the "public power" that was being distributed to municipalities in southwestern Ontario in 1910. It extended its transmission lines along the back concessions of the region, developed new agrarian applications for electricity, and devised a rural rate schedule capable of attracting new customers and encouraging electrical consumption. Provincial government funds were allocated to Hydro for rural development in the 1920s and moderate growth was maintained until World War II interrupted the rural construction program. After the war, however, rural electrification in southern Ontario progressed rapidly until 1958 when provincial money for that region was substantially reduced and Hydro redirected its attention to the needs of the North. While Fleming shows that the public utility proved responsive to changing economic conditions, technological developments, and political considerations as it became a world leader in rural electrification, he also presents evidence of the policies and methods which have engendered negative sentiment toward Ontario Hydro. For example, he reveals that the "power at cost" policy was both a way to achieve price reduction and a strategy for price maintenance. In describing the various influences on Ontario Hydro's program of rural electrification, Fleming has drawn from an impressive array of archival and newspaper sources, including the Ontario Hydro Archives, the Ontario Archives of the Hydro-Electric Commission, and files in the office of the Ontario Premier. Power at Cost will become the standard reference on the subject of rural electrification in Ontario.

H. V. Nelles offers a revised staples interpretation, exposing the resource politics at the heart of central Canadian economic development. He explains the business history of the forestry and mining industries from the mid-nineteenth through the mid-twentieth century, stressing the importance of public policy in their development. He offers a definitive interpretation of the emergence, development, and political dynamics of public ownership within the hydro-electric sector. Considered one of the seminal works on Canadian political economyThe Politics of Developmentstill has important things to say about public policy and will be of interest to historians, political scientists, economists, and those interested in environmental history.
