1. Gordon Campbell gets elected and says BC Hydro can't do green energy

2. 3. 4. Christy Clark, John Horgan, David Eby didn't fix that

We could have had wicked tidal, geothermal in orphan wells and lots of bumpy places, solar all over, wind, and each of BC's dams at capacity.

But noooooooooo 🤮🤬

We can't have nice things.

The 2017 BCNDP platform said to maximize BC's current hydro infrastructure, but which didn't explicitly say to end #SiteC, which they completed. Chagrin x1000. #caveatemptor #readthefineprint

Watch the #bcgreens membership grow, starting late next week...and even bigger if an ecosocialist doesn't win the federal NDP leadership.

@Maxfieldripken This was done, started by the Liberals, to try to boost LNG. It’s good that we have a big hydro source and it’s mind-bogglingly stupid to use to power LNG.

@edwiebe

We spent decaaaaaaades not building #Sitec because we don't need it, particularly with skipping 3+ decades of green energy development since the 1990s NDP governments.

The devastation of that region was perfectly unnecessary if we simply stewarded green energy developments as we moved past carbon energy.

And if we weren't being climate change criminals, we still wouldn't need that damn dam.

So yeah, I don't think it's good that we have that hydro source. At all.

@Maxfieldripken I think we do need it or soon will, if it doesn't go to LNG. As for devastation, the area all around it is riddled with gas wells. Ponder on that.

@edwiebe

Ah, have you seen how flat BC electricity demand has been for quite some time?

How many orphan or gas wells does it take to justify devastating alllllllll the rest of the land? It was no "empty land" like the zionists have been saying about Palestine for 150 years.

@Maxfieldripken That digression puts a cap on this conversion.
