BC Hydro begins filling reservoir as Site C dam megaproject nears completion
It will take up to four months to fill the 83-kilometre-long reservoir, which will cover about 5,550 hectares of land, BC Hydro says

‘Nightmare’ permitting strangling British Columbia solar industry, say installers
New BC government rebates of up to $10,000 could ignite a boom in solar energy. But some warn permitting hurdles are sending the province on a "solar coaster”

Good idea -- solar over landfill
We can do this everywhere

Nuclear power plants are the most expensive and slowest way to deliver new electricity to the grid
Over 70 years later we still don’t know how to deal with radioactive ☢️ waste that lasts 250,000 years — far longer than human civilizations
Every nuclear power plant is a dirty bomb waiting to be triggered — just ask Putin

The Netherlands generates way more solar power than #Canada. Here's how they do it
Global investment in solar power now tops all other #energy generation technologies combined, says IEA
#Solar is now the cheapest option for new sources of electricity in much of the world
Solar now accounts for more than 16.6% of #electricity generation in The #Netherlands putting it well above Canada's paltry 1.1% vs the global average of 5.5%

Plan to wean British Columbia off fossil fuels avoids vital question: How?
For the first time, BC has publicized its plans to meet surging demand for climate-friendly power
Demand for electricity is poised to roughly double by 2050, as BC moves away from fossil fuels
Pro-gas groups are eager to leverage uncertainty to block efforts to phase out fossil fuels

There's a fossil fuel fox in the henhouse as Ottawa develops a "clean" hydrogen economy
While in this position of influence, the fossil fuel industry's priorities were secured, including favourable tax credits worth billions of dollars and ensuring a role for dirty "natural" gas derived hydrogen in the country’s energy transition

One giant step backwards for humanity
Why would we build the most expensive form of energy that takes 30 years to construct, especially when the nuclear waste problem is not solved some 70+ years on? ☢️
Also, we don't have 30 years to solve the climate emergency that is upon us and all of the earth
Clean renewables now. Nothing else

This is what a petrostate looks like. And it's killing us all, along with the rest of the planet.
Clean Renewables Now
Eliminate all oil, gas, coal and nuclear subsidies immediately
Start serving the people not giant oil and gas companies Alberta!

Nuclear power is the most expensive way to produce energy and it takes 30 years to build a plant
Oh and we still haven't solved that nasty nuclear waste problem 70 years on...

We have already reached post-peak oil & Canadian oilsands are among the poorest quality in the world
Arguments about the environmental impact of oilsands growth are moot because the market has looked after the problem. It ain’t coming back, pipelines or no pipelines
No amount of money we "invest" in our oil and gas industry is going to reverse this trend

Giant machines floating on the waves could be the future of wind energy
The machines, from afar, look like pinwheels. But up close, they’re enormous: each almost as tall as the Eiffel Tower, above and below the waterline, and weighing 12,000 tons, equal to 60 Boeing 747s
The blades travel at 180 mph. A single turn provides enough electricity to power one Norwegian house for a day. The blades rotate 10 to 15 times a minute

"Dr McConnell said the abundance – arguably over-abundance – of solar generation in the middle of the day was in some ways emblematic of the challenges at the heart of the energy transition."
>>> Clean renewables are abundant and cheap and don't destroy the planet like oil, gas, coal and nuclear. Stop the planet-destroying subsidies!

Such solar panels would also have the benefit of reducing evaporation of water from reservoirs
