Site C Dam

[Smooth]

Metro-One, to address a few of your comments...

A large scale dam such as the one proposed at Site C is preferable over wind/solar/tidal etc. because it provides a firm and reliable source of power.

Site C, although it does have it's drawbacks, is on the Peace river which already has two other dams. The damage to the river is already done from those dams so the only real negative impact of Site C is the land lost upstream.

I am of the view that the benefits of this project outweigh the costs. Demand for electricity is only going to become greater as electric cars become more popular and people accumulate more electronics. If given the choice between other sources of firm power such as coal or nuclear, I'm sure most people would opt for the loss of a relatively small area of farmland.

Regarding your comments on damming the Fraser or other rivers in BC. That would never happen because of all the silt that those rivers carry. Just look to China to see what happens when you try and dam a silty river.
