Renewable energy fight in CA spills over into BC

A renewable energy bill now making its way through California's state legislature could further accelerate the development of hydropower in British Columbia.

Environmental groups say PG&E is proposing amendments to the Senate version of the bill (SB 14) in order to import power from B.C. that would not only be cheaper, but would also be classified as “green.” When coupled with new state requirements to boost renewable energy, groups say this would further drive the recent “gold rush” for hydropower in the province.

All those red dots on the map are water power license applications.
