3. Fiscal prudence means that Public spending should be productive rather than wasted. In this case it would be against government principles to spend millions to destroy a facility which could be producing salable power at no cost to the government.

As a local resident of Prince Edward County I strongly object to the potential destruction of this Green Energy facility.
