"A cure worse than the disease"

"Nonmalesficence is the ethical obligation to 'do no harm'. NB Power’s proposed diesel and gas peaker plant in the Chignecto Isthmus is a textbook violation of that principle. It is in the language of public policy a 'fatal remedy', an intervention that while purporting to solve a problem, creates new and more severe ones."

NRStor’s chief development officer Jason Rioux said his company submitted a proposal to the New Brunswick government in December outlining the cheaper battery project, which he said could meet N.B. Power's capacity shortage as early as 2028."
