morgan pipeline: Televised images of protesters being hauled away have made the pipeline story far more compelling for television news directors than a looming 10.7-billion or more boondoggle far away in northeastern B.C. But a new book by Victoria environmental journalist Sarah Cox, Breaching the Peace The Site C Dam and a Valley's Stand Against Big Hydro, serves as a compelling reminder of the importance of this issue, according to Georgia Asian. It's a breathtaking examination of how Site C was rammed through despite its devastating impacts on public finances and an ecological treasure trove. On Point Press, 312 pp, softcover For much of 2018, the controversy over the Kinder Morgan pipeline has overshadowed the gnawing and deep public concerns over the Site C dam. This is not merely a look at numbers on a balance sheet, though that alone should be sufficient to alarm the public. Cox also details the impact of this costly megaproject on the stunning biodiversity of the Peace River region. The cost escalations speak to the deceitful way in which this project was initially marketed to the public.
