The information-carrying radio waves, transmitting 24/7, will effectively blanket homes and neighbourhoods. While I support energy conservation, I am concerned that without proper oversight this may not be the best investment of taxpayer’s money at this time. Why is Hydro going ahead with this? Who’s benefiting?
