Public Opinion section update.[edit]
I updated the Public Opinion section of this article. I check it every now and again because it seems that someone associated with the utility softens up the public opinion a bit to make it seem like the utility has some sort of love-hate relationship with the public. Newspaper article after newspaper article, as well as the man on the street, will tell you there is very little love for the NSP operation and I believe that that should be reflected in the article. I did cite everything, but I am just opening the discussion on it in case someone feels the need to soften it up a lot or completely revert it. -Kirkoconnell (talk) 17:57, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
- This section should be removed. I do not work for Emera and this section is not written from a neutral point of view. The sources provided are not reliable and are simply opinion peices written by a biased and poor quality news paper. It is clear you have a hate on for NS Power for whatever reason but that does not reflect the overall public opinion. Your claim of the "man on the street" supporting you is not only not true as I can personally attest, but is also not true. This does not even get into the actual content which shows a lack of economic and business understanding and presents on a cynical view. As such, this section will be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.184.134.23 (talk) 17:10, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
- I am going to review and possibly re-add the section. I saw this was posted a few months after I had posted. I am glad you like having your rates constantly increase while services seem to be dropping. I can assure anyone reading this, most people in Nova Scotia would switch to another power company if they could. The issue is they cannot due to the NSP Monopoly on power. I will admit that I dislike the NSP, but mostly on the grounds they are a monopoly that justifies rate increases by stating that regardless of market conditions, their stockholders are entitled to dividends. I am sure there are some people who like to set things on fire. That doesn't mean everyone sets everything on fire. The public relations campaign NSP is rolling out hardcore right now is more a mirror of the fact they have such a low public view at the moment, and that is more than worthy of note in their Wikipedia page. NOTE: This IP was traced to St. Mary's University. So I guess a student or professor wrote it, not a regular customer of NSP. -Kirkoconnell (talk) 16:22, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
- Dear poster, I just reviewed the Public Opinion section you had removed and it is pretty calm compared to what the average person would say. I think it is a more than fair assessment of the public opinion of NSP. I have to take issue with your comment that the pieces references are by a "a biased and poor quality news paper". They are by the CBC, Canada's news leader and the Chronicle Herald, the newspaper of note for the Province of Nova Scotia. If you believe those sources are not valid, I think we have a problem with either the definitions of the words you are using or the context in which you are using them. -Kirkoconnell (talk) 16:32, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

Environmental Issues?[edit]
Good day - there seems to be no/ little information on env. issues associated with NS Power. I'm particularly interested in emissions to the air but perhaps general env. issues as well. Thanks, Hu Gadarn (talk) 14:23, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
NPOV[edit]
The article contains a lot of words to watch, and gives undue weight to certain controversies as of August 2. It needs a thorough re-write. G. C. Hood (talk) 01:37, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
- I've made some progress on the cleanup, but the article still gives undue weight to issues affecting the Municipal Electric Utilities of Nova Scotia. I suggest that the heading on Nova Scotia Power#Supply "monopoly" issue be changed to something neutral like "Relationship with Nova Scotia Power", that parts of Nova Scotia Power#Town utilities' alternative strategy: Use no coal, not less coal, focus on peak levelling be moved to the re-titled section, and that the rest of the latter section be deleted.
