The article argues wind power is clean and endless, with minimal land impact, while hydro and coal rely on more water and cause flooding. It questions Site C's added capacity and suggests private sector and public share ownership as an alternative. It notes wind variability and grid design reducing backup fossil fuel needs.
A forum letter discusses wind power variability and grid balancing. It cites a Minnesota study noting 1500 MW of wind adds only eight MW of conventional back‑up, Europe's use of 15–20% wind without extra plants, and wind turbines operating 65–80% of the time with high energy payback. It argues wind energy is clean, domestic, emission free, fuel‑independent, and cost stable, urging reader support.
Residents question BC Hydro about wind power backups for the Peace Region and whether more hydro dams or coal plants are needed. They ask for turbine limits near WAC Bennett Dam, grid stability plans, potential shutdowns in Alberta and Ontario, and subsidy effects on projected output. They urge public inquiry into future regional resource strategies.
Vancouver Island First Nations Tahoe Songhees and Esquimalt sued in 2001 claiming the B C legislature sits on their land. The federal and provincial governments agreed to pay 31.5 million to compensate the bonds for the property. The deal was celebrated at the legislature as Premier Gordon Campbell was abroad.
