Just over half of British Columbians are aware of the proposed Site C Dam. It is not clear how many of those believe it has been given the green light. It has not! This $7.9 billion project is much too costly for the citizens of British Columbia. It will create a massive public debt
(a rate payer funded "mortgage" on our future) for at least 70 years and lose an estimated $350 million per year in its first several years of operation. It is also not clear when, if ever, it will break even. We need a better energy future for BC. When we do need more energy, there are better alternatives that are cheaper and that have a smaller footprint.
