Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸<p>For a Canadian/BC perspective. 25GW capacity is approximately 25 times the capacity of the <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/SiteC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SiteC</span></a> dam.</p><p>Yes, I know solar is not 'base load’... but this is 25 TIMES larger, for near $0 cost to government and reduces costs over time for electricity for consumers.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/Solar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Solar</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/BCPoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BCPoli</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/CanPoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CanPoli</span></a><br><a href="https://mstdn.social/@primonatura/113505258739632135" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">mstdn.social/@primonatura/1135</span><span class="invisible">05258739632135</span></a></p>
Rev.Hans :mstdnca:<p>It is bitterly ironic that in some enlightened parts of the world rivers (&amp; salmon, &amp; ecosystem) are being liberated of their dams. Here in BC, we’ve spent billions upon billions on damming the Peace River (the Site C boondoggle) for questionable benefits &amp; at great loss of precious agricultural lands. </p><p><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/bcpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bcpoli</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/rivers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>rivers</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/siteC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>siteC</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/bcNDP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bcNDP</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/leadershipfailure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>leadershipfailure</span></a> <a href="https://www.discoverwildlife.com/fish/salmon-return-klamath-basin" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">discoverwildlife.com/fish/salm</span><span class="invisible">on-return-klamath-basin</span></a></p>
Andrew Kurjata<p>The construction of a massive dam ruined the water quality for a small town of 900 people. Now they have to pay $5 million — more than $5,000 per person! — in order to avoid a permanent boil water advisory <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/bcpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bcpoli</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/sitec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sitec</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/hudson-hope-water-quality-1.7330111" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">cbc.ca/news/canada/british-col</span><span class="invisible">umbia/hudson-hope-water-quality-1.7330111</span></a></p>

Zeke 🇨🇦<p>I’ve been following this story for years and felt gutted and betrayed every step of the way. This story brings to light everything wrong with BC politics and the corruption within.

Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸<p>The reservoir of one of, if not THE Last Great Hydroelectric Dams built in North America, <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/SiteC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SiteC</span></a> in Northern BC, is being filled.

Zeke 🇨🇦<p>Breaking News: The filling of the extremely controversial <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/SiteC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SiteC</span></a> dam has begun. The advisory suggests staying very far away for the next year as the earthen dam is somehow attached to shale.(I suggest a quick visit to research this material as a substitute for anchoring to bedrock) So far this project has ballooned to over $16 Billion.</p>
The Tyee<p>Zoe Grams: Of the 76 words in Trans Mountain Corp.’s most recent statement that its oilsands to tidewater pipeline expansion faces further delays, a quarter of them emit a decidedly “don’t call us, we’ll call you” sentiment.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/CanPoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CanPoli</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/TransMountain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TransMountain</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/SiteC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SiteC</span></a></p><p><a href="https://thetyee.ca/Opinion/2024/02/05/Trans-Mountain-Too-Busy-Held-Accountable/?utm_source=mastodon&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=editorial" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">thetyee.ca/Opinion/2024/02/05/</span><span class="invisible">Trans-Mountain-Too-Busy-Held-Accountable/?utm_source=mastodon&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=editorial</span></a></p>
