What could possibly have led the British Columbia Utilities Commission to think they could get away with massively increasing the use of Burrard Thermal and the tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions it creates? Do the Commissioners not recall the public’s total rejection of the Duke Point power scheme just a few short years ago?
Burrard Thermal is not the answer to British Columbia’s electricity needs. There are far better, far cleaner power generating technologies available. We don’t need to be burning natural gas and releasing carbon to generate electricity in British Columbia considering all of the clean power resources we have available to us. The public simply will not support the increased use of Burrard Thermal and its climate destroying emissions.
