Watch the movie "Thirst" and introduce yourself to the newest corporation being allied in the attack against the people of BC , the owners of water and waterpower in BC.

Almost a year to the day since the BC government agreed to place controls of our electric energy supply under rules yet to be written by US regulators working for corporations and the US Energy Department, a trilateral (Canada, Mexico, US) energy security agreement was signed in Victoria BC on July 23, 2007.

The Federal government does not have a national energy policy but the BC government has the Bush Cheney Energy Plan called the BC Energy Plan (Alcan wrote most of it) which strips the public of their ownership of rivers and their electric utility which brought wealth and security to generations of British Columbians. Apparently the coporations and Gordon Campbell can't fathom the pubic keeping their wealth and security or their best defences against climate change, ribers and watersheds.

Alcan, Rio Tinto and now Bechtel Corporation join Gordon Campbell and the Province of BC to extinguish the public resistence to Alcan who wants the Nechako river as a power plant only so they can sell the ever-more-valuable electricity into the US grid and leave the public out. Yesterday's agreement further solidifies the impending US dominance of our electricity grid.

Readers of this website are aware of the ongoing battle for public water energy resources, perhaps a trade war or just  a corporate takeover of hundreds of developed and undeveloped hydro capable rivers in BC and the entire electric system being "enronized" (placed into a US energy hub) creating a private electric energy market which will take all of the public profit for private profit as the "mother of all hubs" will be unveiled after Alcan and Gordon Campbell ink another public power purchjase agreement which will represent a a three billion dollar boost to the 28 billion dollars in obligations of the taxpayers of BC for senselessly expensive private power.  

If you knew antics of the local newspapers and the local mill manager and the rest of the gang you'd laugh as loud as they are laughing at you, the population.  If you don't know why they are laughing so loudly it is because the 30 billion dollars or so that you will pay for twenty years to all of these new private river power owners is at a rate for the wholesale electricity higher than the rate anyone has ever paid at their door for electricity in BC.
