Site C dam another boondoggle

BC Hydro owes billions of dollars, doesn’t need power

To the editor:

The brain-dead B.C. Liberal government just approved the $8.5-plus billion Site C dam boondoggle.

This dam is to produce power we don’t actually need. It would flood agricultural land.

Three per cent interest on $9 billion is $270 million per year.

BC Hydro is already about $16 billion in debt, and is hiding billions of dollars of expenses in deferral accounts.

That doesn’t include the $50-plus billion BC Hydro owes to private power companies.
