Site C dam threatens BC ecological wealth and costs
A David Suzuki Foundation report warns the Site C dam on British Columbia's Peace River could erode up to 8.6 billion dollars in ecological value. It estimates carbon storage and other services amount to 6.7 to 7.4 billion annually, with additional benefits around 1.2 billion, while noting the dam would flood 83 kilometres of river, power 450 000 homes, and add to regional development pressures.
