Heat pump better than Enbridge option, says reader

Letters

Re: Kawartha Lakes should support a healthy environment, not Enbridge (March Advocate).

My wife and I took advantage of the government subsidy and switched to a heat pump two years ago. We found to our astonishment that our fuel and electrical bills were cut by more than three quarters. We were delighted to not only be reducing our carbon footprint, but also saving a lot of money. I have been doing a lot of research on this since, and have come to the conclusion that Enbridge’s board of directors are going to end up having hundreds of millions, if not billions, in ”stranded assets” and it will be its customers throughout Canada (including Kawartha Lakes) who will be stranded, having to replace costly furnaces while shale gas companies line up filing for bankruptcy protection in Canada and the US.

I wholeheartedly support the writer’s concerns.
