Ft St John B.C. Canada B C Hydro just announced they would start filling the reservoir at the end of August. I will be filming it in 4-5 parts as it fills up. They say about 4 months. but with the rivers so low I think it will take longer.

The site c dam has got the river so messed up that you can drive your car down onto the bottom of the pine River because there is no more water in the back channel towards the ski hill. I used to live down there before hydro bought everyone out. It drives me crazy every time I go down there. The old home site is a camp ground now.

youre using and electric phone, and an electric drone to take video to edit on an electric computer to upload onto an electric server so people can watch it on their electric TVs, all manufactured with more electricity but electric cars are the problem? 🤣🤣🤣
@rongibson62817 ай бұрын
No I dont think electric cars are the problem. They will be thou. I am all for more Dams and hydro projects. I just will never drive a electric car. After 60 years of muscle cars in my garage I will always have one or two. I think they are so far off base with what they are planning with electric cars.

@@rongibson6281 I agree that dam are relatively simple addition to the grid since there's already hundreds of them, zero emissions and overall less destructive since they offer natural habitat and flood control. I also agree that I'll always have a hobby car in my garage as well. (i've spent many years legally road racing and since moving out to BC have enjoyed overlanding and rock crawling) but you seem pretty reasonable enough to admit that electric cars certainly fit the over whelming majority of the daily grind getting from A to B when the average is just 35kms round trip. they don't fit everyone but they fit the majority.
