Joe Foy on Why We Don't Need Site C Dam

Tuesday, May 31, 2011

At a recent event in Vancouver, the Wilderness Committee's Joe Foy picked apart the BC Liberal Government's faulty case for Site C Dam - discussing better alternatives to power our future needs and the enormous cost of a dam whose real purpose is to subsidize shale gas and coal mines.
In his inimitable style, Joe makes it clear that the province's ratepayers and taxpayers are being tricked into paying over $8 Billion for a dam they don't need, with enormous impacts on the environment, food security and First Nations' traditional territory.
