Face to Face with the beautiful Peace River ...
by Victoria Community TV
This is truly unbelievable ... Christy Clark is planning a massive expansion of 'fracking' for natural gas in North-Eastern BC ... then shipping that gas by pipeline to the coast ... building huge factories there to turn the gas into a liquid (liquified natural gas) and then shipping it off to wherever. 
 
All of this will require massive amounts of electricity, and the electricity will come from a multi-billion dollar new dam they plan to build on the Peace River, the so-called Site C Dam.
 
In total, a massive environmental and economic disaster for this province. But very good for the corporations who run this province ...
We talk with Andrea Morison and Ken Boon of the Peace Valley Environmental Assn.
