Wednesday charm, Wind farm…

Filed under: Business, Climate, Enterprize, Government Works, Social Activism by Kevin Griffiths — Leave a comment
South of Kamloops off the coquihalla

500 million dollars BC Hydro. This project is going to be done by BC Hydro. Although their name Hydro connotates the fact that they own every drop of water in British Columbia as a monopoly for power generation. They are expanding wind farms and power smart are in their resume.

Environmental assessment waived

The company has just been directed to do everything as efficiently as possible and they’re waiving the environmental assessment. Which may in one case be reasonable because of the wind and its passiveness. However, they are notorious for bird kills and I would think that would be part of the environment. More on this later we hope. Maybe we can get a quote from theNicola Naturalist Society Incorporated. Alan Berger president.

Good luck

Weather or not here we come…

weather La Nina

So, this author says that ” The atmosphere is in mode but the ocean currents are out of sync” paraphrased.

Rainy and wet…

Anyway, let’s hope that next spring is more wet than the last few years, especially here in South Central interior, British Columbia where we feel it the most.

Snow for slopes

Yes please

Apparently an impasse or something has stifled negotiations and the government is preparing to order them back to work. This could be a cooling off. Her could be arbitration. But for some elements of the community, it’ll be welcome relief.

May 22 2025 order to extend contact in the works.
