In today's episode we examine several alternative energy solutions which have been successfully deployed in the Peace Valley region of Northern British Columbia.   This episode uncovers and presents exactly the type of information this podcast was created to discover!  We highlight the very successful and profitable 102 MW Bear Mountain Wind Park, and how wind power could easily replace the need for the completion of the Site C Dam at an order of magnitude less costly.  Furthermore,  we present the fact that the BC government canceled the approval of up to 2000 MW of wind power which would have come with the construction of a wind turbine blade factory employing many skilled workers.  Solar power generation is presently a viable technology to power every home in British Columbia and will greatly reduced the need for grid power.   Alternative energy is an exponentially growing industrial and economic sector, and globally in terms of job creation has presently surpassed the oil and gas sector.  The time is now for British Columbia to get out of its 1950s mentality and embrace the future!
