Greenhouse Gases in BC Throne Speech

• Reduce B.C.s greenhouse gases by at least 33 per
  cent below current levels by 2020.
•  
• Premier Gordon Campbell
• Climate change is real, and British Columbians
  are telling us we must do more as a government
  and as individuals.
• We will act to stem the growth of global warming
  and minimize the impacts already unleashed.

Electricity Greenhouse Gases in BC Energy Plan

• 1. 50 of BC Hydros incremental resource needs
  through conservation by 2020.
• 10. Electricity self-sufficiency, including
  insurance by 2016.
• 18. All new generation projects will have zero
  net GHG emissions.
• 19. Zero net GHG emissions from existing thermal
  generation by 2016.
• 20. Zero GHG emissions from coal thermal
  electricity facilities.
• 21. Clean or renewable generation to account for
  90 of BC generation.

Comox Strathcona Regional District

• Extend provincial policy requiring 100 per
  cent carbon sequestration to all fossil
  fuel-fired projects in BC, including any liquid
  natural gas (LNG) electricity generating
  facilities.
• August 2007

Burrard Thermal in Energy Plan
22. Government supports BC Hydros proposal to
replace the firm energy supply from the Burrard
Thermal plant with other resources. BC Hydro may
choose to retain Burrard for capacity purposes
after 2014.

WestPac LNG Texada Project

• LNG Receiving Terminal
• Offloading, storage, conditioning, regasification
  compression (send-out)
• 3.6 bcf storage in two tanks
• 500 mcf regasification send-out capacity
• BC Utilities Commission likely has some
  jurisdiction on business relationship with Terasen

17
WestPac LNG Texada Project

• Gas-fired Generation Plant
• Combined-cycle gas turbine (CCGT)
• Scalable/expandable over time
• Eg start with 300 or 600 megawatts (MW)
• Expand to 1200 MW later
• Approx gas use at 1200 MW could be 225 mcf/day
• Depends on BC Hydro electricity purchase
  agreement (EPA)
• BC Utilities Commission decides on EPA

18
Regulatory Considerations

• Environmental Assessment Office
• Reviews everything technical, environmental
• No significant interest in business deals or
  public opinion
• Never turned down a project
• Standard review is six months
• Harmonized with federal review process (CEAA, EC,
  DFO )
• Possible application in January 2008?

• BC Utilities Commission
• Reviews economics and public interest
• Legalistic, formal, intimidating
• Participant funding is available

19
Considerations

• Tankers (1 every 10 days, size, frequency,
  hazards and risks, federal policy, moratorium)
• If Sumas 2 and Duke Point were bad, why is this
  good?
• Context and rationale with Island Co-gen (ICP),
  Burrard Thermal, Site C
• Energy Policy, Climate Change Goals

Allies

• Lots of support, little money or time
• Keep it public COPE, BC Fed
• Keep it green environmental groups
• Keep it cool broad spectrum of climate change
  interests
• Keep it cheap industrial users, JIESC,
  Catalyst
• Terasen rates, turf

26
Local Government

• Zoning jurisdiction?
• Taxing authority (perhaps 2 million /year)
• Annexation
• Bill 30
• Official Community Plan (OCP)
• Electoral Area support?
• Municipal support?

27
Campaign Capacity

• In for the long haul
• Pace yourselves
• Avoid burnout
• A handful of people
• Build capacity
• Public meetings
• Maintain visibility
• Be the news

28
Campaign Ideas

• Start your own newspaper
• Keep your sense of humour
• Dont be rude or stupid
• Notwithstanding, there is a place for just about
  anything in a campaign
• Give people something to do

Sure Im a NIMBY. Im protecting my own backyard.
And if everyone was a NIMBY all the backyards in
the world would be protected
