Yes, operating expenses are likely to be higher with wind versus hydro. I still stand by my opinion that Site-C is a waste of money and there are cheaper clean alternatives.

I think we need both. Cite-C only address part of the incremental growth BC is projected to have. Wind is also needed but variable.
