A better question is how can we not  support it? Save me the cries of it  taking money away from Bruce Power do  a little research on your own and find  out how many BNPD workers are heating  with wood then come talk to me.  Price gouge after price gouge by Hydro  as left a number of people looking for  a more reasonably priced option. The  pipeline is 20 years overdue.

An absolute pipe dream. It doesn't  matter how much support this project  may get from residents. The cost of  the infrastructure completely  outweighs the revenue generated by  servicing the Kincardine area.  Literally a pipe dream  pun  intended!!!!!!!

Another matter that will tear up the  roads in Kincardine for years to come  and will cost the poor taxpayers a lot  of money. It will only benefit the big  new houses built by the welltodo  (read: Bruce Power's) highly paid  employees. :(

can't afford to heat with electricity anymore and we know that's only going to get worse

 Back home in Sarnia we used gas for  26 years and found it to be very  clean efficient and clean. We still  miss it after using oil heat &  electric heat for 25 years.

it's just one more  thing to spend money on. How about a  decent store Wallmart for example

SO FAR IT IS LESS  EXPENSIVE AND QUICKER THAN HYDRO

I always thought that it would be a great idea to have natural gas here. But when I read about how much it would cost for the privilege of buying their product my thoughts changed to 'no'.

Council should not be spending tax  payers money on an item that all tax  payers will not be able to use. They  should not have turned down the  monetary support from Canadian Agra!

Even tiny hamlets like Formosa have natural gas. Kincardine council have not looked after our interests. How come Enbridge can use our wind but not supply us with gas ?

I believe not having gas here will  contribute to slower growth for our  immediate area. The mayor said that  Port Elgin attracts more industry than  we do and I believe this is one of the  reasons. Roy T.

I don't agree with the municipal governments using our money to do a feasibility study. I'm sure the gas companies know if there is money to be made. What*s next our governments will pay to do studies for stores to come to the area? After all local people would be hired.

I feel we are at a disadvantage across  this province. With soaring hydro  prices I don't even want to see the  total for our hydro bills this  year...scary!!! I'm always shocked at  what people pay for their hydro bills  in other communities with natural  gas. Its ridiculous! Bring on the  natural gas!

I really don't care but that wasn't  one of the choices. It should be.

i support it only if there are no  charges to town in getting the pipline  here and any prelimunary work

If cost to residential is in line with  other surounding areas .

Natural gas aside from a ground  source heat pump is the least  expensive heat source available. You  could hook your gas BBQ directly onto  a lineno more running out of  propane. Good way to attract more  business to area. No more propane  tanks lying around. Save tax $ on  municipal building heating.

Natural gas  fractures the earth and has  caused mini earthquakes. The process fills the  area with chemicals destroying streams and  rivers. There is a moratorium on  in  Quebec.

Natural gas is the most economical  form of home heating.

Of course it would have to be  financally advantageous before I would  sign any contract.

Residents would benefit from this  cheaper option for heating their homes.

They suggested this in  1970's...boy...Kincardine is slow to  get on board!

We almost chose Port Elgin over  Kincardine when moving here a few  years ago because of the natural gas  issue. We were used to having a  natural gas furnace water heater  fireplace dryer and oven/stove. Even  if some of the town we to get access  to natural gas would be an improvement.

We have a perfectly fine standard of living in Kincardine and area without a nice to have* natural gas pipeline. It is nonessential and we CANNOT afford it. Time to tighten our fiscal belts.

What we need is cheap electricity. This  should be purchased wholesale directly  from Bruce Power and cut out all of the  middlemen and their rediculous price  markups.

Why has the Kincardine area been  excluded all the time surrounding areas  have natural gas?

Why should we be the only community  around here without this option for  heating etc?

Why somewhere else and not in  Kincardine?

With the price of hydro and wood going  up yearly we need an alternative way  to heat our house water and cook.

Yes! We need some relief from heating  with hydro!
