RE: RE: RE: Cost

[lunettes]

I wonder what does cheaper mean?  If financing is available, why should BC Hydro even mind about a contractor way of conducting it's business?   It sounds like "ok I'll grant you a PPA, but from now on, you're not truly an independent company".   I must be missing something, or oversimplyfying the matter, but I don't get it.   What business does BC Hydro have judging about cost-effectiveness?  What if Naikun is the most cost-effective, but it has the highest price tag?   Do they get in front of the pack?   What if they're not cost-effective, but they cost only 1 million to develop?   It all sounds like these two concepts are interchangeable.

Cost-effectiveness is as much a politcal word as a financial word.   Which one should we focus on?

What will be the price to pay NOT to go green asap?  How much will we have to pay if we continue on the path of global warming?   big $$$ in perspective on the other plate of the balance to clean up the mess.

I guess my point is, is cost-effectiveness a real issue in the first place?

I do own some NKW shares, and hope this will be the first of many off-shore wind farms in Canada.

I beleive Naikun has a very good project.  It avoids the not-in-my-lawn, not-on-my-piece-of-river, not-in-my sight syndrome.
