This smells big time. How can they justify site C and all the billions in cost to the taxpayer and then find this project with a win for fish and a win for electricity on the island. Why not get the BC Utilities commission to do a full review of all hydro's proposed projects and get the right answers for the taxpayers instead of what the BC Liberal Party wants for its political purposes.

Hydro built a dam on mid Shuswap River in the fifties. Been talking about a fish ladder since the sixties and promised one in the 80s. Buncha lies. Hasn't been mentioned at all in about 10 yrs.

Check this out how the story changes in 2010 the Burrard thermal plant which is also just a back up for low water year events was called a dirty Carbon Beleching Dinosaur.http://www.sqwalk.com/bc2009/001731.html

A total review must be done by the BC utilities commission we are getting hosed big time.
