[edit]I have added the {{POV-check}} template to this page as it reads like a leaflet produced by campaigners against the power plant to explain the history of the dispute. Thryduulf 19:51, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
- I think that with the addition of verifiable facts, the article is fine...but it really needs citations and sources. DPetersontalk 23:49, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
It does appear a bit biased. One would expect more on the technical issues, the engineering issues, some discussion of the value of putting a power plant close to its users. While oppositional activism might be of interest to those planning opposition to other similar projects, that is only a small part of what this project entails. The column inches devoted to the opposition to the plant outweigh the encyclopaedic information by too large a margin. Digital beach 02:32, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
The item is, as noted above, very much a product of what a group who opposed the plant have to say. A major update is required as, for starters, the plant is well on its way to completion.

I've tried to bring a little more balance by removing the "limbo" section and adding references to the TCP press release and annual report which describe the current (early 2008) status of the project. BTurgeon 04:37, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
I have added a reference to the Government and OPG's Memorandum of Agreement which bars alternative energy. Also cleaned up lead to indicate plant is currently under construction. Dabbler (talk) 11:35, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
Update Required
[edit]The article needs a major update to reflect the fact that the plant is operational and an explanation of what was actualy built rather than the proposal - the controversy sections could also be reduced with the final outcome of the plant being built some points are now irrelevant. I have tagged the article for an update.
