how much was it producing? a lot of these projects are cash grabs by the company
It takes workers to build infrastructure projects.
It sounds like they gave a pretty reasonable reason why this specific project doesnt work in that specific area and it also sounds like they have approved lots of other projecta that have a lower environmental impact and the premier couldnt come up with a good reason as to why they cant just move it to another area that doesnt impact migration.
i bet its a company to scam subsidy and left after those subsidies ends
What a disingenuous hack. His only agenda is criticizing the government. You don't do research for no reason, you do research to find out if you want to do the project or not. Tim Houston is a lying rat
This is about money and bragging rights. Premier doesn’t care about the environment. Political Double Speak is annoying
It’s Fundy, Funday, you wanker.
Not Funday
CBC sounds like a talking puppet. Good on the premier!!
Could CBC look more biased? How many times is this expert tell the host the government is responsible only to have them defend the government every time. Its okay CBC, we know you work for the federal government.
The guest had strong opinoins desspite providing little evidence on the logicsitcs of such projects. How much power is expected to be generated? How much has been generated? What's the economic cost?
Key information to any project that is glaringly lacking.
Not a real project. That said it's impossible to get the federal fisheries department to approve anything.
This sounds like a miss to me, and as far as the tech goes, this is already being done in the UK
off shore wind is huge in europe and the uk, we need to get on with that
The project was a flop
