Geothermal vs. Site C Technical Briefing

At the Site C Final Investment Decision technical briefing, Minister Bennett unequivocally rejected geothermal:

...there is no possible way that geothermal could be the answer to our prayers at the present time...


CanGEA is unable to confirm how Minister Bennett reached this conclusion - the supporting research and analysis has not been made public. CanGEA has presented critical new research, that the BC government has chosen to ignore. We contend that geothermal 

• Is competitive with the updated Site C cost to ratepayers,
• addresses First Nations concerns and
• provides many other benefits to communities compared to Site C

The United States and Mexico are world leaders in geothermal energy and 23 other nations take advantage of this clean energy source. On Wednesday, February 4, 2015 at 11am PST, CanGEA will be presenting a technical briefing on the benefits of low cost geothermal energy compared to the Site C Dam.
