Sometimes I'd say as much, Cat-o'9tails. But let me share what I was feeling the other day when there was a BC/AB CBC Radio telephone call in program. As I listened to lectures over and over from people in the Vancouver area I could think of little other than the Peace River Site C dam and hydro electricity project that British Columbia is engaged in despite protests. Where do they get the social license to do that?

No one is doing large "hydro" projects any more, not anyone with a conscience, anyways. They are environmental disasters, even contributing substantially to green house gas emissions in their first decades, especially. They release other toxins, destroy ecosystems, and screw up rivers and riverine land .

Frankly I felt angry about being lectured to by people who suddenly seem taken, not by ecological dangers, but by NIMBY.
