An idiotic comment. We cannot boost any economy with waste and environmental destruction. BC Hydro's residential, commercial and industrial customers used less electricity in 2016 than in 2005, according to the utility's own records. BC can create yet more reductions in electricity consumption easily by investing in more efficient motors and lighting. In addition, solar power can be generated on utility scale at far less than what Site C will cost. Alberta created power capacity at Shepard Energy Centre at $1.75 million per MW. Site C will cost $8-10 million per MW. That means we won't be selling expensive power to our neighbours. Nor will we sell surpluses to California where they are closing power stations because conservation is happening through modern technologies.  If the only reason to build Site C is to create jobs, we'll create more jobs by building it with picks, shovels and hand labour. That would employ more people.
