You seem to forget that site C will pay for itself and leave us with a valuable asset.

The provincial government’s decision to freeze BC Hydro's rates in 2018 likely won’t have any effect on FortisBC customers.

No freeze for Fortis

Of course there will be an increase in Fortis rates. It's a private company, thanks to BC Hydro selling much of BC's interior power supply off to them. The government only has control over Crown corporations.

So then, since it is a "Crown Corporation", then why is it not Okay to move the profits of that corp. to fund a different "Crown Corporation"?

What do you care? You are going to install solar and go off grid to achieve energy freedom, or so you said.

How's that coming along BTW?

Well how about you righties admit you want bc tax payers to pay more. Own your position instead of being wishy washy..investing in solar for all british columbians equals no more bills.

We know they will pay more but at least as it has been proven many times they will pay much less that if we use any of the alternatives. If you have any proof otherwise please post it. In fact just answer hobbyguy's question, but you already know you can't or you would have. Too bad you have to keep deflecting because you have verifiable no proof for anything you say.

Why don't you Lefties learn how to do math so you can see just how insanely stupid solar and wind power are?

I'll be able to answer that question when HG answers my question. There's no point in trying to compare the costs of renewable energy prices in the future. That, to me, is what this debate is all about.

Fortis is a fantastic company. Good job BC Hydro selling off much of BC's interior power supply to them. This especially angers really stupid leftists who can't do math, so that's just the icing on the cake.

Of course there is a point??????!!!

Call me silly, but I tend to think you are hardly in a place to be ordering anyone to "own their position" as you put it, at least not until such time as you provide us proof that you've installed your solar system, and have gone off grid.

When you talk the talk, incessantly no less, people tend to expect you to walk the walk also.

Just for added amusement how about you put up some sort of proof to back up your claim that investing in solar equals no more bills. All the knowledgeable ones involved in power production seem to disagree with you, with most in fact saying it costs more than hydro.

Please feel free to prove them wrong with some actual real world evidence. We've heard enough fairy dust and unicorn fart rooted arguments.

Of course not when those facts undermine your narrative to the point of absurdity.

I believe Smurf is quite capable of defending his own position. I'll wait for his response, thank you.
