Thanks for keeping us updated.
Seems the grab is on for the sites in the "practical" loacations in the Hatch report.
And judgeing from the one link it looks like they're teaming up with that Quebec Company, that has their completed dam sites listed as
"accomplishments"
Which means deeper pockets for them.
Lets hope we can get a few more groups on line now, we need each other more than ever, country wide.
And if anyone knows how we can attract more urban and city folk,
the floor is open....

Your welcome Jedi - just trying to do my small part
190 rapids/falls in Ontario alone are potentially slated for hydro projects
I didn't even know about the Kap project until i saw a notice of completion in the Timmins local paper and it's almost in my backyard
These hydro deals are pretty sweet for the proponent - 20 year agreements to purchase power produced at approx. 3 times market price - who do you think is going to pay for all this green power ? in more ways then one
There are a few groups out there but it's like lone voices in the wildnerness
Posts/discussions on myccr i'm sure help get the message out, but it's still not a big enough audience in my view - major television coverage about the gold(blue) rush would be required in order to get peoples attention - but even then most people never go out into the bush, so have no appreciation for what's about to be lost
Regards and thanks for the message
