NAN Asking for Seperate Energy Plan

The Nishnawbe-Aski Nation is calling on the Federal Government to
provide efficient and reliable hydro to remote communities in the district.
Grand Chief Stan Beardy says a number of First Nations are powered by
old and unreliable generators.
Beardy stresses rising diesel prices has had a direct effect on the
cost of electricity.
Some communities, including Muskrat Dam First Nation, have imposed a
power ban because the energy system has bankrupted them.
