I LOOK AT IT THIS WAY ... Upper BC and YUKON are next to be developed with more energy infastructure.
Most Electrolyzers use oxides - plat, nickel, cobalt.
Is it inconcievable other Provinces selling or buying energy from
neighboring Provinces ?
BC sells electricity to USA.
Alberta sells oil and nat gas to other Provinces + USA
Quebec sells electricity to other Provinces + USA.
Thatt BC article also said, sell hydrogen.
An expanded electrical system could also allow the province to sell more power to its neighbours in Alberta, Washington state, Oregon and California, Eby said.
Excerpts -
B.C.’s Ministry of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovative said in a statement this week that there are about 50 proposed hydrogen sector projects in B.C., ranging from large-scale production facilities to hydrogen-fuelling stations and heavy-duty trucking pilot projects.
The premier said the buildup of B.C.’s electrical system will also help mines, pulp mills and other resource industries transition fromnon-renewable fuels to electricity.
“The plan really emphasizes getting more power out of our existing infrastructure: dams across the province that can be made more efficient at relatively lower cost to produce significantly more power for us as well as getting those transmission lines to different parts of the province to electrify industry and support smaller communities in getting off diesel generators,” he said.
“We made a billion dollars last year trading electricity and there is increased demand, especially from Washington state if they close coal-fired power plants and fossil-fuel power plants in the state,” he said. “It’s an opportunity for export income for B.C. It’s an opportunity for domestic job growth and it also ensures reliability with drought, with falling water levels of our reservoirs.”

Would BC want the Wellgreen's energy metals ?
Even Yukon runs on partial diesel.
Are Govt's into securing energy metals ?
YES.
