I've been meaning to post this one for a while with comments, but I've decided instead to just throw it out there and see if anyone wants to comment/discuss.
This is the 2007 BC Energy Plan.
This is a critique of the plan by a progressive energy economist at SFU.
The critique comes in three parts:
- Part I looks at how the policy of energy self-sufficiency creates an artificial demand in the Province leading to the creation of unnecessary and environmentally intrusive new energy assets.
- Part II looks at how the pricing of electricity as the marginal cost of supply from low-cost heritage assets (as opposed to the cost of bringing new assets online) works as a disincentive to conservation.
- Part III takes a closer look at the environmental effects of energy self-sufficiency.
Have fun!
