Christy Gordon Campbell Clark`s Secret Agenda Revealed!

I have written about it before, Vaughn Palmer and other media have their own vested interest in promoting the continued rape of our rivers, the reason?...The reason is they bought the Campbell Kool-Aid and invested their own money in the private power ripoff, in other words Vaughn Palmer and others could give a rat`s ass about British Columbia and BC Hydro ratepayers or the environment, Vaughn Palmer is long in the tooth and all he cares about now is his own bank account...

Today Vaughn Palmer is making waves again about the power shortage to run a natural gas liquification terminals, but Vaughn Palmer avoids the two elephants in the room, and what might those elephants be?

Elephant #1)...Can you imagine the idiocy of buggering up pristine salmon rivers, damming eco systems to facilitate the export of greenhouse gases to Asia, using so-called green power to export carbon and pollution. 

Elephant #2)..The LNG terminal proposed for Kitimat, the electrical demands of this project are to be subsidized by regular BC Ratepayers!!!!!!!!....Yes, Bill Good`s guest yesterday admitted that the hydro rates for British Columbians will rise considerably because of the electric demands of these LNG terminals!!!

In other words regular folks in BC are expected to subsidize EnCana gas, Apache Canada and the over-priced IPP power for the sole purpose of more private corporate profits!!!!...You see friends what is really going on here, it`s a BC Liberal backdoor maneuver to push through private IPP power projects and ....And EnCana gas will not pay the rates that the private power companies wants, you know the prices, Gordon Campbell signed long term contracts with these river rapers that guarantee huge profits for the IPPs, and these prices are 4 to 10 times the spot market electric rates, and the best forecasters in the world had stated that the price of electricity is not likely to rise for at least 30 years, ...Well, except in BC where the BC Liberals and Christy Clucking Clark sold out every family in BC!!!!..

Now hear me out, I am not against the natural gas industry but I will not subsidize big profitable companies like EnCana gas, they can buy all the power they need from Alberta, cheap electricity from natural gas burning power plants, and, here is a real novel idea, how about EnCana gas build their own natural gas burning power plant, or plants to supply their own needs for electricity, !!!!!!

EnCana gas wants free power for this project, well it`s not free, it will be paid for by ratepayers, in fact Bill Good had a guest on his BC Liberal promotional show earlier this week who stated that...

"BC Hydro residential customers rates will rise in costs as a result of the Natural gas liquification plants" snip


And Vaughn Palmer has stated in several columns.....Phase one of the Natural gas liquification plant will require 3000 gigawatt hours alone, let alone three terminals!...In other words, this plan will require roughly 10,000 gigawatt hours of power per year, that folks translates into 10 site Cs dams to be built, but, Site C won`t be running until 2020 or later, so, that means buggering up possibly hundreds of rivers to supply this power, hundreds of over-priced IPP power projects, hundreds of long term 30 and 40 year contracts, hundreds of power buying deals all being subsidized by BC hydro ratepayers!

And, and if the Natural gas market goes bust, if the world discovers new cheap energy, if the global economic markets go bust we in British Columbia(the people) would be on the hook for all this power!

Below are some excerpts from Vaughn Palmer`s columns.

An LNG plant, being basically a giant refrigerator, consumes a lot of power. The first phase of the Kitimat facility would need 1,500 gigawatt hours of electricity per year. Phase two would double that requirement.
Hydro is confident that it will have enough energy on hand to supply Phase 1. Beyond that, I'm told, it will depend on to what degree the government, in its drive to hold down rates, reins in future development or purchase of electricity by Hydro

After repeating a vow from earlier in the week to push for one LNG terminal by 2015 and three by 2020, she addressed the concern that BC Hydro will be unable to supply all the electricity (as much as 3,000 gigawatt hours per year) needed to power one terminal, never mind three.

"We have enough electricity available to be able to launch the first two phases of the first project," Clark assured the audience.
"And I need to be clear to you today we will not allow a lack of power supply to stand in the way of any further important steps in the LNG project."

What we are witnessing here is a backdoor, backhanded betrayal and a continuation of Gordon Campbell`s ruinous IPP private power scam that has already skyrocketed our electricity rates!...And, was not a review of BC Hydro just completed, the reason for the review was to keep the ratepayers hydro rates from exploding upwards over the next 5 years!...Yes it was and now....And now this project will require buggering up hundreds of rivers and streams with IPP DAMS and river diversions, the pure audacity to alter and ruin pristine river systems to facilitate the export of Greenhouse gas emitting natural gas.....Oh the humanity!

EnCana gas, Apache Canada and EOG resources, multi $billion dollar companies want to use the equivalent of 10 Site Cs or more likely hundreds of smaller river dams from IPPs, all with decades long contracts backed up by BC Hydro ratepayers, and....

And EnCana gas, Apache Canada wants this power for pennies, EnCana gas wants you, wants us, wants little ole residential customers to pay for their massive electrical footprint!....

EnCana gas can build their own Natural gas power plants and they can supply their own power, we BCers are already paying carbon offsets, carbon energy taxes while EnCana gas and the coal exporters ship their greenhouse spewing products overseas without any carbon offsets or carbon related fees!...

There is nothing wrong with the goal of exporting natural gas to Asia or America but the thought of damming hundreds of rivers and streams to facilitate the export of greenhouse gas emitting natural gas is so 18th century, it`s even worse than the tar sands operations, if EnCana gas and Apache Canada need power they can either buy Alberta electricity derived from natural gas or they can build their own natural gas powered electricity generating plants, that makes the most sense of all, they have the gas, they can use it for making their own go-go juice and leave the damn environment alone.....

But, Christy Clark caretaker Government has merely found a way to bring in Gordon and Michael Campbell`s ruinous policies of transferring wealth from families to corporations and the environment be DAMNED..

Only a fool would use clean water generated electricity to create greenhouse gas product for export, fools or BC Liberal corporate stooges....Use natural gas powered electricity to liquify Natural gas, Do not dare bugger up hundreds of rivers for liquifying natural gas.........What abunch of corporate sell outs the BC Liberals are

And Vaughn Palmer...Too bad you sunk your money into the IPPs, go fly a kite you salmon hating BC Liberal Stooge.

Can you say Smoke and Mirrors!
