BC Hydro’s estimate is that the Site C reservoir “could contribute between 70,000 and 140,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions per year for approximately the first 10 years” (Feasibility Review, p. 6-47). 

We need to wake up and stop pretending that Site C would provide clean energy; that it’s an exception to all the rules; that the destruction of the valley would be an acceptable sacrifice. We have better options.

Respected sources like the David Suzuki Foundation tell us this, and we need a government with the will and vision to pursue those alternatives.
