A Dam Shame

DateWednesday, March 19, 2014 at 12:00AM

Let me get this straight: you want to flood a pristine valley in Canada to generate power so you can ship natural gas overseas to keep Asia’s lights on? 

Site C is a hydroelectric dam site and manmade reservoir project proposed by BC Hydro. If it is built, it will be the fourth dam to strain the Peace River and all that relies so heavily upon it.
