Nothing sustainabl­e about hydro reservoir

- DEAR EDITOR:

Re: “LNG is not an acceptable transition fuel, says ex-MLA” (Herald letters, July 17)

While I mostly agree with former MLA Jim Beattie’s otherwise excellent letter, I must take issue with his idea that “Site C (can) be used ... to build a truly sustainabl­e renewable energy economy in British Columbia while meeting B.C.’s growing clean power needs.”

If Site C is built, it will be too late for that. There is nothing sustainabl­e, renewable, or clean about a hydro reservoir. It is not too late to stop Site C, and it must be stopped, for our sustainabl­e future. Glen Porter Burnaby
