The evidence is in. The BC Energy Plan is a fraud, a creation, designed to take the public energy systems and the renewable energy assets, most of which are environmental assets of life not private power profits and give it all inlcuing the money to build private assets to corporations. SHELL. GE, BECHTEL, MANULIFE, BROOKFIELD etc. It is time to take our power back. |

Article by Ron MacDougall in the Powell River Peak: Private power costly. (Link to original article) Excerpt: "BC Hydro, as a public asset, adds $700 million to public coffers each year. It only costs $6 per megawatt hour (MWH) to produce the power generated by it, one of the lowest rates in the world. But BC Hydro will be charged an average of $100 per megawatt hour for power produced by private energy interests. Do the math." |

Article by Marvin Shaffer in the Vancouver Sun:
Subsidizing new mines not the way to save power (PDF)
Link to the original article
Excerpt: "There is no justification for projects and policies that are designed to promote electricity-intensive economic development. The money spent subsidizing new electric loads would be far better spent on strategic infrastructure investments, education and training, or lower taxes, all of which can effectively contribute to economic growth." |

Following instructions from the provincial government, BC Hydro has streamlined the process for private hydro contractors to hook to the grid and sell power from small projects of less than 10 megawatts. The BC Liberals claim that this is to make us self-sufficient in electricity by 2016. No such plans are actually in place and BC Hydro will keep buying dirty coal and nuclear power, at night when it is cheap, from US and Alberta utilities. |

Story by Scott Simpson in The Vancouver Sun: Customers pay more for B.C. energy plan: study "British Columbia's pursuit of energy independence is backfiring on BC Hydro customers," according to the first line of a Vancouver Sun story on June 16. A feature by Scott Simpson on D-1 of the Saturday Business BC section says that BC's plan for independent power is "not well considered" according to a respected economist. The main premise however is that importing cheap but dirty power at night wasn't being considered, just in terms of its negative economics. |
