Policy Choices, More Than LNG, are Driving BC’s Search for New Dams

The BC Government's decision to explore new large hydroelectric dams highlights a significant shift in addressing the province's escalating electricity demands, revealing flaws in the CleanBC initiative's projections. This move comes amid a broader policy reassessment that includes a renewed focus on natural gas, challenging previous commitments to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. The implications are vast, potentially reshaping BC's environmental and energy policies, and raising questions about the balance between renewable energy goals and practical energy needs.
