Backup power?

[Ruth]

That may be true for people that live in or close to larger centers but my power goes out at least twice a year for 12 hours or longer and the last 2 years it has gone out for 4 days in a row. I'll stick with my generator thanks and as an added bonus use it for camping. I don't know about Vancouver falling into the Pacific but I do think that one of these days we are going to have a large scale natural disaster of some sort. I personally know how scared everyone was a few years ago when they discovered the hole in the WAC Bennett Dam. This hydro electic project provides something like 33% of the provinces power and then some - which we quickly sell to the US
