WE say, thankyou universe for your care and concern when giving our chance for a life. Also mention Robert Brosinsky, Herb Allen and Richard Thomas Griffiths, partners in Grizzley Rock Services contract work at the sites in the north east of BC decades ago. And all the Merritt People that had some work by that risk actuaited.
Site C Green energy project; look inside the generic photo below…
So, no water will come from drought sources, however BC Hydro will transfer water from the Williston reserve to the site C near Hudson Hope BC, beginning “late this summer for a four month fill.” The depth will be 52 meters at the dam wall,at half way river. The rate will be up to three meters a day.
This exercise is not like the filling of the Three Gorges Dam in China that took an part of a second off the rotation of the earth, however the Non profit expects to produce 35 percent of the WAC Bennet dam in this new facility.
Non profit
BC hydro is a monopoly that can not retain earnings unless budgeted to a project. All efficiencies that are generated by law must be returned to its rate payers in lower rates. Therefore the organisation is mandated to explore opportunities to do just that. You can hold their feet to the fire as this efficiency comes to fruition.
Safety demands approval for any presence on power right of ways.
Power line right of way grids can indeed be beneficial for nature in some ways. These areas can provide habitats for certain plant species that thrive in the open sunlight and may attract a variety of wildlife. Additionally, the maintenance of these areas often involves careful consideration for ecological impact, which can result in the preservation or restoration of native plant communities. However, it’s important to note that the specific impact on nature can vary depending on factors such as the location, management practices, and surrounding landscape. Overall, power line right of way grids have the potential to coexist with and benefit nature when managed responsibly.
Power line right of ways are often maintained with herbicides to manage vegetation and prevent interference with the power lines. The use of herbicides is a common practice for maintaining these areas. However, the specific herbicides used and their application can vary based on local regulations, environmental considerations, and the policies of the power utility company responsible for the right of ways. It’s important for these activities to be conducted following safety guidelines and regulations to minimize potential risks to both humans and the environment. Regular monitoring and adherence to best practices help ensure that the use of herbicides is aligned with safety and environmental standards.
Not have an ear for the usage of harsh methods of control, listen.
Be an active listener.
The wish of the young is for a future with nature at its best. The reality can be different. In may ways error is lurking just behind optimism.
Persistence and stubbornness are both traits related to a person’s determination and perseverance, but they are characterized differently in their approach and attitude.
Persistence:
Definition: Persistence refers to the quality of continuing firmly in a course of action despite difficulty or opposition.
Positive Attributes: It is often associated with flexibility, adaptability, and open-mindedness. Persistent individuals are able to adjust their methods and strategies in order to overcome obstacles and achieve their goals.
Example: A persistent individual might continue to pursue a challenging project by seeking alternative solutions and approaches when faced with setbacks.
Stubbornness:
Definition: Stubbornness, on the other hand, refers to a refusal to change one’s opinion, attitude, or course of action despite persuasion or reasoning.
Negative Connotations: It is often associated with inflexibility, resistance to change, and insistence on one’s own viewpoint, even to the detriment of progress or harmony.
Example: A stubborn person may insist on a particular course of action without considering alternative perspectives, even when evidence suggests that a different approach may be more effective.
In summary, while persistence involves a determined pursuit of goals with an openness to adapt and change, stubbornness entails a rigid adherence to one’s own viewpoint or course of action, often to the detriment of cooperation and progress.
The word is mighty to tearing down the wrong and establishing the right.

The world has seen empires go and come some have legacies that are useful some not so much. Today the legacy of Pax Britannia is remembered as noticeable that relative world peace was enjoyed by the world as the US civil war raged on. The struggle for peace and security is ongoing but starts wit your neighbor and your own heart and mind. My thought for you today is that you stay calm in the struggle for a life. That you find wisdom and strength knowing that yours is important and is the one that you can control and guard; watch your relationships and don’t engage in grudge or hate. Do not be deceived you most probably can change little outside yourself. In that knowledge remember others demands for your change is secondary. Peace to all you but first thanks for allowing mine as i allow yours.
