The legacy left by BC's hydro development on the Peace River are falling water levels in the Peace Athabasca Delta in NE Alberta, and the contamination of the whole Peace/Slave/Mackenzie river system with methyl mercury.

How this can be good for the environment is beyond me, but the people in Vancouver who benefit from this hydro power are blind to the damage they cause every day in northern Alberta and the NWT.

Yet they are the first to complain about energy projects in their area.  I call this hypocrisy.
