Marvin Shaffer's Response to Jaccard's Review of Lost in Transmission
Posted October 16th, 2008
It is disappointing that former BCUC Chair Mark Jaccard has come to the spirited defence of the Province’s Energy Plan in his review of Lost in Transmission, a series of policy papers that critique the electricity self-sufficiency and other major provisions in the Plan. It is disappointing because the Energy Plan is fundamentally flawed from an economic, environmental and public policy perspective. The scenarios and arguments Jaccard presents in his review provide no justification for what the Plan is forcing BC Hydro to do, and his defence of the Plan may give it a credibility it does not deserve.
