B.C. needs new sources of clean energy, its that simple! (Power Ploy - Part 7)

B.C. needs to become 100 per cent self-sufficient in clean, green renewable electricity production and pass that legacy on to future generations. In recent years, B.C. has become a net importer of electricity because of our aging electricity generating infrastructure which has not kept up with the provinces increasing population and growing energy needs. Most of the electricity B.C. is now importing comes from coal- and gas-fired generating plants in Alberta and Washington state which are among the worlds worst sources of greenhouse gases.

Clean electricity sources such as wind power and run-of-river hydro have long proven themselves in Europe and other countries are leading the way in geothermal energy, tidal energy and wave-generated energy. B.C. and B.C. Hydro are relying on the innovation, entrepreneurial skill and specialized technical knowledge of independent electricity producers to build and operate a variety of green energy projects that can harness the abundant green energy sources B.C. is naturally endowed with. We need new sources of clean electricity, now and for future generations. Its that simple.
