So we do buy coal energy from Alta at night, but why would you want to continue to buy coal energy, dont you think that dirty carbon based energy is much worse than RoR?
I just dont see how you can say no RoR but yes to coal burning, the dirtiest energy around
Just so you know this is NDP's plan as well, to increase the amount of coal energy we buy, however that goes against the clean energy act to be 93% green.

Mikey me boyo, I wouldn't have expected otherwise. However, some Republican
friends in W Van, yes, those kind of Republicans, are gonna pay you a
visit if'n you don't learn to properly spell my name! How are your kneecaps?
Actually, yous guys are providing worthwhile content and in a fairly
commendable manner I might add.

Ya, Ab is still gonna run the plants so the net result is more co2 if we don't buy from them. Ror isn't green. Ruining ecosystems isn't green. That's like saying the hydrogen busses we have in whistler are green when the hydrogen is a) produced with coal fired power and b) shipped all the way from quebec.
It's more environmentally sensitive to use resources we currently have then mess up a bunch of rivers which don't end up netting much power anyways!!
Is this green?
Taku River Tlingit First Nation
How about this?
There are currently 79 of these projects under construction in this province. Most are in previously pristine valleys. You prefer this to burning some coal?
Sorry Reilly! Please don't mess up my knees, they're just starting to work again!

I dont understand?
I guess you have to make a choice between burning carbon based fuels that will ultimately kill all the rivers or, make a very small foot print in select areas to provide green energy that will help provide much needed time to transition to a more sustainable energy source. Would you like me to post some pictures of coal or tar sand mining?
How about climate change pictures from burning coal, how about the recent report out of China where coal burning is killing people and the environment...
Mike, its our generation that needs to make some tough choices and we need to do it now, staying with the status quo is not an option. Educate yourself, why are we going to LNG, the worst thing in the world would be for us or the Chinese or anyone to gain any more access to cheap carbon based fuel.
There is only one reason why we have not transitioned to other more sustainable fuels, because people dont want to pay more.
Would you be willing to pay more for sustainable energy?

What she means about NDP wanting a moratorium is that the NDP think there is a de-facto moratorium because they dont know how to provide the power to more than one or two LNG plants.
What Horgan means about the GHG emissions is that depending on what type of power they choose it could put us over our limits as laid out in the clean energy act. For instance if the LNG plants power themselves by burning LNG. But considering they just changed the definition of clean energy for exports they may change its meaning here as well.
These are the alternatives when politicians are faced with public outcry about small scale 100% green energy projects that cost more.

The study, published in the periodical Noise and Health, found that a random sample of residents living within 1.4 km of wind turbines in two Maine communities suffered more from impaired mental health and sleep deprivation than those who lived at least 3.3 km away.
Duh!
Does it take a rocket scientist to figure out that a constant
"Whoop Whoop, Whoop "
24/7 might drive one a little batty?

Oh yes the fabeled perpetual motion machine...free energy...just violate the first and second law of thermodynamics...
How about nuclear, maybe we should change the rules here in BC to allow nuclear
These guys have a proposal for 4 small plants in NW Alta...no green house gas emitted if you dont take into account the mining portion
