Why is it that BC Hydro transmission lines are always over budget?
Why aren't they built using P3s?
Are the clear-cut right-of-ways wide enough to stop a forest fire from melting their cables as it were a flaming Translink bird nest?
Would consumers be given a one day free 'ride' by BC Hydro for the inconvenience of losing electricity?
Are these the jobs that Christy Clark keeps talking about?
How long will it take to re-string the 'christmas' lights from Hudson Hope to Metro Vancouver?
How long to build concrete transmission towers or is the plan afoot to dig Trenches and put the hydro cables underground just like the methods that Enbridge and Kinder Morgan use for their pipelines?
If a forest fire were to rage through the wind farms, would their replacement estimate cost be the same as the Dokie Wind Farm: $500 Million
Would the Independent Power Producers be required to fulfill their contracts, or absolved of contractual obligations based on the ever interfering God, Mother Nature, or Terrorism?

Good post.
ReplyDeleteGreat questions that will never be answered by this BC Liberal Government..
However, in an era of increasing climate change, one should take all the precautions necessary..
now that you put it like that.......that is some scary shit.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder there wasn't much news coverage of the fires. If there had been more, it might have made more people aware.
As to the run of the river projects, oh of course they would be let out of their contracts. Remember the B.C. lieberals like corporate welfare. They just don't support ensuring children get enough to thrive.
so what is glorious photo op queen and her minions doing about all of this? I don't expect there is a B. plan anywhere. We have only to see what happened in Cache Creek over the weekend. We saw local services, but where the hell was the provincial government services in an emergency of this size?
