Liquid Gold: Energy Privatization in British Columbia Paperback - 2008

by John Calvert


From the publisher

In an argument against energy privatization, this revealing account shows how British Columbia s successful public system is being supplanted, exposing taxpayers to the risks and uncertainties associated with the United States energy market. With British Columbia s energy system gradually integrating into the larger Northwest transmission grid--a grid largely controlled by U.S. energy corporations--this survey shows how the Canadian government has gone to extraordinary lengths to assist the growth of private energy investments in British Columbia and how such subsidization poses a danger to key Contributors to the province's prosperity.

Description:
Halifax and Winnipeg: Fernwood Publishing, 2007. Book. Very Good. Trade Paperback. Inscribed by Author(s). 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Inscribed by Author upon the ffep, 'To Joss, I do hope you find the book of interest. With best wishes, John Calvert.' Very slightest corner rubbing, little wear overall. Quite clean. '[The author] shows how the government is supplanting B.C.'s successful public system with a deregulated private sector model that will enrich private power developers and undermine B.C.'s ability to control future energy development. In giving away B.C.'s renewable energy future, the government is needlessly exposing ratepayers to the risks of the volatile U.S. energy market. Over time, Calvert argues, the new policies will result in the destruction of BC Hydro, the province's most valuable Crown corporation.' 256 pages..
