Site C Dam
- Thread starter JLM
- Start date
How many viable sources of energy are there that can be accessed in the short/medium term? (If you are going to make an omelet you have to break some eggs)
How the hell do you idiots think you are going to deal with rising energy demand, especially if electric cars come on line in a big way?
Hydro is clean power.
You prefer nuclear?
Or should we just build another pipeline from Alberta for NG?
Wind and solar you say?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Reality.
Deal with it.
Please.
With a coast like BC's, we could have tidal power and we have tones of geothermal. Site C destroyed thousands of acres of good, productive farm land. We needed it more than a dam since the lower main land has buried its farm land under condos and golf courses.
for many reasons
1) it rewards the previous government for lying about all the original costs and for unapproved spending. They basically created a fait accompli by investing so much in site C we said **** it - too late to change now
2) it is the exact opposite of the trend - it a mega generation when the world is turning towards smaller more distributed generation.
3) wtf is it with BC and mega projects anyway? BC does nothing for decades then decides to do everything at once in massive move. When has that ever worked out for us?
i could go on. I will add when I dream up some more.
when you compare what BC is doing to what Australia just did with tesla it makes BC look like a bunch of idiots.
yes to all of this.
it also is doing it all to support Christie Clarkes pie in the sky natural gas production which she won a reelection on by telling BC she would pay off all public debt through natural gas profits - and then someone invented fracking and natural gas beca,e next to worthless.
and still we go with the power plant for it all.
all these projections made on false data.
How is the previous government being rewarded?
So you're making this up?
You are aware that Christie Clark isn't Premier any more?
Could this be sour grapes because the NDP and Green Party are doing exactly what they said they would not do?
A lot of these nay sayers don't know sheep shit from dates!
I hear you Cliffy. Give us the rundown of all the apparatus and equipment needed to get this wave power from the beach to our homes, cars, factories, mills etc. c/w all the costs.
Someone up the food chain at BC Hydro spent all sorts of time lying about the relative costs of various generating options. They teamed up with the BC Liberals party to foist the Site C dam on the public. Because they know better.
The funniest part is all the righties who now support the Site C and it's destruction of family farms and government appropriation of privates lands.
That is hilarious or is it only natural that they support lying and cheating in public officials since that's how its done in oil and gas?

Not a hole lot of valuable farmland being lost
A little more pasture land
So over all the productive land loss is pretty minimal for a project this size .
I would probably complain more about the displaced wildlife than the loss of farmland.

So we are losing about 7 square miles of land! What was the total lost to fire in 2017 alone in British Columbia? Thousands?
About a dozen gas wells would produce as much energy as this whole project is planned to produce.
The gas wells would only be a pin prick in the cushion of the earth and would hardly provide any disturbance to the environment plus the gas produced from these wells would not only provide clean energy for BC but the gas produced from these wells would be a Royality cash generator for the province at the same time. A Win situation anyway you look at it.
What fools these BC types are not to go with Gas wells!!
