You are talking about bringing online the equivalent of a Site C dam every year for the next 30 years in generating capacity alone. People are already up in arms about just one Site C dam; imagine 30 Site C dams going up for the next 30 years. And imagine the cost of the dams as well...

Not sure where you're getting that information. Electric transportation is far more energy efficient than fossil fuels. By a factor of 3-4. Do you realize the energy potential in most EV batteries is equivalent to about 2 gallons of gasoline? Plus there's the extraction and transportation factor for fossil fuels. EVs are flying off the lots and there's nothing to indicate BC Hydro has even noticed yet from a power usage perspective.

Wind? 700 wind mills to equal one Site C dam, at $5 billion. And this would have to be installed in places in the north, such as the Haida Gwaii or the Northern section of Vancouver Island, on pristine mountain tops, causing significant habitat destruction. Environmentalists will love that...

$5 Billion? Wow. So...
half the cost? And probably half the time to build.
Why the fuck are we building dams then!?
Do you think about what you spout before writing, or just shill for oil & gas non stop?
