BC Hydro begins filling reservoir as Site C dam megaproject nears completion
It will take up to four months to fill the 83-kilometre-long reservoir, which will cover about 5,550 hectares of land, BC Hydro says

‘Nightmare’ permitting strangling British Columbia solar industry, say installers
New BC government rebates of up to $10,000 could ignite a boom in solar energy. But some warn permitting hurdles are sending the province on a "solar coaster”

Good idea -- solar over landfill
We can do this everywhere
Nuclear power plants are the most expensive and slowest way to deliver new electricity to the grid
Over 70 years later we still don’t know how to deal with radioactive ☢️ waste that lasts 250,000 years — far longer than human civilizations
Every nuclear power plant is a dirty bomb waiting to be triggered — just ask Putin

The Netherlands generates way more solar power than #Canada. Here's how they do it
Global investment in solar power now tops all other #energy generation technologies combined, says IEA
#Solar is now the cheapest option for new sources of electricity in much of the world
Solar now accounts for more than 16.6% of #electricity generation in The #Netherlands putting it well above Canada's paltry 1.1% vs the global average of 5.5%

Solar is now the cheapest option for new electricity, and the Dutch are all in. The Netherlands is known for scattered showers, abundant waterways, and actively-used agricultural land, so it took ingenuity for the small country to soar to the top of the Europe's solar pyramid.
Plan to wean British Columbia off fossil fuels avoids vital question: How?
For the first time, BC has publicized its plans to meet surging demand for climate-friendly power
Demand for electricity is poised to roughly double by 2050, as BC moves away from fossil fuels
Pro-gas groups are eager to leverage uncertainty to block efforts to phase out fossil fuels

There's a fossil fuel fox in the henhouse as Ottawa develops a "clean" hydrogen economy
While in this position of influence, the fossil fuel industry's priorities were secured, including favourable tax credits worth billions of dollars and ensuring a role for dirty "natural" gas derived hydrogen in the country’s energy transition
>>> Neither the Liberals nor Conservatives really get the #ClimateCrisis
Canada is going big on hydrogen with billions of dollars of public money on the line. But according to documents obtained by Canada's National Observer, the fossil fuel industry is deeply entrenched in the country's hydrogen strategy.

One giant step backwards for humanity
Why would we build the most expensive form of energy that takes 30 years to construct, especially when the nuclear waste problem is not solved some 70+ years on? ☢️
Also, we don't have 30 years to solve the climate emergency that is upon us and all of the earth
Clean renewables now. Nothing else

This is what a petrostate looks like. And it's killing us all, along with the rest of the planet.
Clean Renewables Now
Eliminate all oil, gas, coal and nuclear subsidies immediately
Start serving the people not giant oil and gas companies Alberta!

Nuclear power is the most expensive way to produce energy and it takes 30 years to build a plant
Oh and we still haven't solved that nasty nuclear waste problem 70 years on...
