Liquid Gold

John Calvert

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.
