No sooner did the premier announce that the Site C dam is going to be built than the naysayers started saying no. No doubt the same naysayers who say no to run of river, no to wind, no to the Olympics, no to just about anything else you can think of.
So, if we don't build Site C, and we don't build run of river or wind, where do these naysayers propose we get our power from?
Are we going to start rationing power the way we ration lawn watering in the summer?
Will even numbered houses get to turn on their lights and appliances Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and odd numbered houses on the alternate days?
Give me a break.
I, for one, am not going to give in to the naysayers. I'm going to say yes. Yes to run of river. Yes to wind. Yes to Site C. And yes to anything else that will make this province great and give us the competitive advantages we need to succeed.
