CBC ‘The Current’ program ...May 21, 2010 at 9:13 pm<br />CBC ‘The Current’ program May 20 AM had Peace Valley farm owners Gwen Johansen and Larry Petersen speaking against the proposed Site C Dam project this morning.<br /><br />http://www.cbc.ca/thecurrent/<br /><br />They did fairly well, yet could have been far more effective. They need to present clean cut ideas that will win over a mass public following. Logical concepts clearly outlined can make all the difference.<br /><br />Gwen Johansen came closest when points were made about the need to produce power near the places of use like homes business and industry. This saves million$ spent on lines, towers and power stations. It also saves line losses and transformer losses, not to mention wages for staff who maintain all these things. Power lines are prone to weather outages, of course.<br /><br />http://windenergy7.com/<br /><br />Walmart, Google, Fedex and other corporations have power production ‘Bloomboxes’ on their grounds for reliable energy supply. No power lines, hence no power outages. Bloomboxes look something like a heat-exchanger only larger.<br /><br />http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/02/18/60minutes/main6221135.shtml<br /><br />Wind power generation can take place on your garage roof and provide power for lights and electronics. The concept of huge remote wind farms with costly power lines, stations , and staff seems silly. You can’t put a site C dam in your back yard, but you CAN install wind generation there easily. One needs the grid for heavy power appliances like clothes dryers, ovens, base board heaters at least until Bloomboxes or the like become available much as home heat exchangers are now. Volkswagon is also working on a home based power supply appliance.<br /><br />By the way; What is this pressing need for Site ‘C’ anyway? Since we stopped shocking bauxite into aluminium in Kitimat, all that tremendous power has been added to our BC power grid. And it looks as though the huge power dam near Prince Rupert for northern coastal mining is going ahead. California can’t afford to pay us for power we supplied them and are still in arrears. Is Site C an ego boost for Premier Gordon Campbell just before he gets voted out ?TonyGuitarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08958200910094517668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-58448062883276872212010-05-18T19:39:50.471-07:002010-05-18T19:39:50.471-07:00The project referred to in the article has been sh...The project referred to in the article has been shut down.Hughnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-40536631151922858552010-05-18T18:52:25.218-07:002010-05-18T18:52:25.218-07:00This recent VanSun article shows how R-0-R IPPs ca...This recent VanSun article shows how R-0-R IPPs can damage fish habitat:<br /><br />http://www.vancouversun.com/technology/Pollution+worries+halt+power+project/3037259/story.html<br /><br />Thanks to IPPs like this one, we in BC get to pay more on our Hydro bills, due to BC Hydro paying big $$ to IPPs for power it doesn't need.<br /><br />We also get damaged salmon habitat on a major river (Tzoonie).Hughnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-63325039457217333942010-05-18T14:09:09.199-07:002010-05-18T14:09:09.199-07:00I see that the corporate CORUS Radio is desperatel...I see that the corporate CORUS Radio is desperately trying to discredit Bill Vander Zalm. Old Bill has a lot of faults, but trying to make what happened 20 years ago, seem like the massive corruption taking place in Victoria, some sort of a sick joke.<br /><br />Balderdash & the Palm also are trying to destroy his credibility at almost every turn.<br /><br />The way I see it, old bill has more credibility than Gordo, Balderdash and Palmer combined, yet the game goes on.<br /><br />CORUS trots out Joker Jaccard, father of the gas/carbon tax to again fog the debate. It is getting downright laughable that the mainstream media is in a lover's embrace with the Liberal machine, unfortunately, the great unwashed still treat both dailies as honest purveyors of the news.<br /><br />We live in evil times, led by the anti-Christ himself.Evil Eyenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-34040685740589653972010-05-18T07:27:19.821-07:002010-05-18T07:27:19.821-07:00"Marc Jaccard`s phony paper defending gas fla..."<i>Marc Jaccard`s phony paper defending gas flaring has been vaporized, hmm!

Monty "The Wallflower" Paulson and Erin Chutter made watching grass grow seem like an epic event. No matter what the subject, neither one had anything useful to say. <br /><br />Of course Sam the Sham got to spew some more of his pro-HST drivel. It's almost as if Bill needs Sam's input to justify his existence. On a scale of 1-10, CKNW rated about a minus 5.<br /><br />CamCrankypantsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-64984600209485691892010-05-17T23:52:09.162-07:002010-05-17T23:52:09.162-07:00Indeed Crankypants.....Why would Marc Jaccard &quo...Indeed Crankypants.....Why would Marc Jaccard "confere with his lawyer friend"<br /><br />And Marc Jaccard`s lawyer friend has said, according to Marc Jaccard, the BCUC still has some power...<br /><br />Well if it`s good enough for Jaccard`s lawyer friend it must be good enough for the public!!!!<br /><br />Just more of the propaganda, messaging from the enemy within..CKNW/Bill good/Crusty Clark is the enemy!<br /><br />It was such a strange segment with Jaccard, it wasn`t really about Site C, it wasn`t really about the BCUC, it wasn`t about private power, it wasn`t about much of anything except....<br /><br />It was about Marc Jaccard telling the public that he has a friend who is a lawyer, who believes that the BCUC probably still has power.<br />It definately was a hastily put together segment.<br /><br />Marc Jaccard is a fool, can you believe Marc Jaccard is saying the editorial board of the Vancouver Sun is wrong?<br /><br />No wonder Jackass Jaccard removed his election/gas klaring garbage from cyberspace, perhaps his lawyer friend suggested that the gas flaring attack against the NDP be burned!Grant Gnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-87621551293482150952010-05-17T23:14:45.652-07:002010-05-17T23:14:45.652-07:00The whole Jaccard segment made me want to puke.

And the BS about the BCUC not being castrated was total folly. If as he states, he conferred with a lawyer friend of his and came to these conclusions, then his lawyer friend must be dumber than a stump.<br /><br />On the HST front, I heard Hansen claiming that a lot of the people that signed the NOHST petitions now wish they hadn't. Everytime he opens his yap, he become less and less credible.<br /><br />And Mary Polak is still trying to screw with the court ruling that came down against her and the rest of the BC Liberal cabinet.<br /><br />What a bunch we've been stuck with.

And then what does he later do? Stab the same NDP in the back and help that habitual liar Gordo to win the election with his phony 60,000 job loss report that was all over the MSM and supported the phony carbon tax. <br /><br />And that habitual liar Gordo then helps himself by also lying about the HST tipping the balance in the LIEberals favour for a fraudulent election win. Thanks Jaccard!<br /><br />Jaccard is an enemy of the state and should also be charged and put on the stand when the people's financial "war" crimes trial against the LIEberals begin in the future!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
