Liquid Gold: Privatization, Power and Water in British Columbia: Energy Privatization in British Columbia - Softcover

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.
