Dear Editor:
With so much wet, rainy weather and rivers overflowing in British Columbia this spring and summer, it's too bad we don't have enough hydroelectric generating capacity in place to take advantage of it and export clean, renewable electricity to the U.S.
They've been experiencing recordbreaking heat waves in the U.S. this summer, and the air conditioners keeping them cool are most likely being powered by burning massive amounts of dirty coal.
Just the thought of hot, burning coal makes me want to find an air conditioner.
Wouldn't it be better for everyone if all those air conditioners south of the border were powered by cleanly generated electricity instead of by burning coal?
We could help make that happen with the renewable energy resources we have in this province.
What's stopping us?
Donald Leung, Burnaby
