Neutral Point of View?

The overview section has quite a few unreferenced opinions like "the government of Quebec refused to allow exports of electricity through its territory", "Quebec refused to renegotiate", and "due to the coersion involved in that deal".

The complex history of the contract between the Churchill Falls Labrador Corporation Limited (currently owned jointly by Nalcor Energy and Hydro Quebec, but a private company at the time) and Hydro Quebec, and of the multiple negotiations between these companies in the intervening years regarding development of the Lower Churchill is not fairly or neutrally recounted by this summary. The political sensitivities can't be ignored, they play a large role, but they should be referenced as such, not as fact.

I hope that this gets corrected, and that in particular that the background of the 1998 agreement between the NL and Quebec regarding developing the Lower Churchill, the 2006 decision to walk away from the joint development project with Hydro Quebec and Ontario, and the existing agreement between Nalcor and TransEnergie to transmit power from Labrador to New York get included because they are relevant to understanding the background of this project. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.241.123.250 (talk) 19:04, 27 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please cite references and links for your assertions. The section you refer to has references from multiple sources supporting it. Ng.j (talk) 20:24, 27 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Refer to the 2014 Quebec superior court ruling for a bipartisan timeline and account of events ^[1]. According to documents presented in the court ruling, it seems the assertions in the current article highlighted above are unsubstantiated. In particular, court documents indicate clearly that the contract was entered in good faith by both parties (no coercion). The contract essentially transferred all financial risks to Hydro-Québec in exchange for fixed and predictable costs, which at the time seemed like a good deal to both parties. Concerning transmission of power to the grid, HQ had just developped the 735kV lines making the transmission of power feasible over such long distances. Without HQ's financial and technological involvement, court document underlines the plant would not have been built. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 135.23.204.208 (talk) 19:02, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This article must be rewrote! It's pure disinformation!--76.65.131.106 (talk) 15:41, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
