Random Thoughts of Chris Tilley

I was reading an article about a company (Katabatic Power) that is planning a 3000 MW wind farm on an island on the north coast of BC.

The first phase would provide power to BC. The remainder could go to BC or California. A recent Californian commission stated "there are potentially viable British Columbia renewable resources that may be available for PG&E to develop or acquire". I like being an exporter it means we are importing money. The problems are that they don't have the transmission capacity to get the power to California. They are working on that including the possibility of an underwater cable down the coast.

We are definitely going to see a lot of wind turbines in the coming years. The wind is always there mine as well harness it, in appropriate locations, and make a profit.
