Yugoslavia level.

Such is life in the communist hellhole that is Canada.

Isn't Canada broke?

>10.7 Billion Dollars for 1100 Megawatts of power.
Holy shit how long will it take to pay for itself? 50? 100 years? You guys have a shit ton of natural gas too.

>implying deficits matters in the current year
Our prime minister's election platform was to put the country in massive debt. Somebody else can worry about the consequences in the future.

You need to understand that once this dam is built and begins to generate power. Not only will BC residences benefit with it but energy will also be sold to the states. 10 billion is nothing compared to years of energy being payed for by the US of A states south of the Canada boarder. Mind you, the BC residents will still pay a large amount for hydro electricity. The government does not care for the people they represent, which is why they are going ahead with this project.

It is a win, win.

To put it into perspective, an average hydro plant of this size in the USA costs $0.88 billion CAD. It's literally over 10 times the price.

...

At least you got free healthcare.

Well that's nice, because no matter what, Donald Drumpf will pay for your denbts, because Canada's debts are pitiful compared to America's debts.

Lmao three gorges dam 22gw for $23 billion. Chinked

5,100 GWh per year.
At a profit of 6 cents per kilowatt hour.
1GWh = 1,000,000 kWh. = 306,000,000 million a year is a profit in 34 years, not counting any economic growth from that cheap power, which turns over at about $4-6 per kWh in GDP.

Anyway the 10 billion is counting the 4 billion already spent. Better to get something than just burn the 4 billion.

Examples?

I just googled average power plant costs. It gives them in per kilowatt hours.

So you googled the cost of a natural gas plant not a 1GW hydro electric dam?

nice sunk cost fallacy there buddy

You're fucking retarded if you think site C shouldn't be built

This. The underaged and uninformed retards in this thread need to kill themselves

How is it a fallacy?

After 50 years of plans the government starts to build a dam. No problems with the construction.

Government changes and now you have the commies and greens running things. They waffle on throwing away about half the cost because they hate people having electricity and want people to reduce electrical use rather than building a clean source of power.

Sanity prevails and they are going to finish the dam.

>It's a sunk cost fallacy!

WTF?

Not buying cheap high efficiency GE gas turbines...muh hydro muh climate change

Well in 100 years the dam will still be making power without any fuel costs and a predictable cost of production that's the lowest of any power source. If the price of natural gas returns to $6 a GJ that gas turbine starts getting very expensive to run, fuck everything if it hits $10+.

We have an estimated $13 billion dollar half finished eyesore called the Honolulu Transit Rail project. The cost is fucking bonkers. Taxes and construction are leveling businesses figuratively and literally and we are approaching a decade.
Hawaii is a single party state. We have like two Republican anybodies in our history. There is zero fucking accountability. Hawaii has taught me the importance of civil participation in politics and how state workers are the worst of all workers and unions are their force and politicians are crooks through and through. There is nothing worse than watching paradise get raped by aloha socialism. A studio here costs over $300k in a super shitty neighborhood. What would be a standard burb three bedroom is running at $900k. These are nothing special. I rage at my state.
Plz kim nuke us.

But user, think of all the benefits! Clearly building is always a good thing, even at a cost of a trillion dollars, because in the end if benefits the people!

(((State sponsored ))) usury.

OP is a lefty commie treehugging fucking faggot that should kill himself with a dildo up his ass.

Site C is literally a source of revenue and JOBS in a province with incredibly little industry and an abundance of natural resources. It's fags like OP that make it so hard to find high paying jobs in British Columbia and everyone's father, son and brother is forced to work in fucking alberta. There is literally nothing wrong with site C. The regret comes from out faggy new NDP government that's worried about flooded trees and Indians who were paid off literally fucking decades ago already.

>In a 100 years
What is fusion,thorium, solar beamed from space.

Nat gas is a good short term answer especially with all the shale gas we are producing

site C is a liberal shitshow where the contract got sold for 200% of the price it needed to be to the premiers buttbuddy

Natural gas will still be more expensive even if you can keep the current price over the long term.

As for fusion it doesn't work.
Thorium is great, but NA and EU are not building any yet. Although maybe China will lead the way.
Space beamed solar is retarded when you can build an orbital ring and transmit the power by wire down from orbit.

Nah you're a fag and should kill yourself. It's a huge project and huge projects cost money. I'm ok with spending tax money on our future. But I guess you'd rather it go to the fags and terrorists? Fuck you

>your future
lmao you have no future trump nuthugger

If only BC would dump more money into solar and wind then they could pad the pockets of Green tards and Commie friends pockets.

Reminder literally only unions are at fault for this. They are the ones tooting for more and more and more while providing less and less.

Just think if you could outsource the construction to China then they could get a broken dam like the broken bay bridge SF made when they turned their back on US union steel.

Enjoy your soy overdose. I'm sorry but this is one source of industry you leftist fags weren't able tear apart

>industry
lmao its literally construction which the unions all eat up
industry is manufacturing or mining, not making a dam lmao

don't argue kikes on money. it's an uphill battle.

Nat gas is going to be cheap as fuck for decades to come

Fusion might be a pipe dream but you are talking 50 to 100 years into the future

The singularity is only 25 years in comparison

So why not do all that at 1/5th to 1/10th the cost?
Hydro isn't a new tech, it's mostly just turbine generators embedded into a thick concrete wall.
$10,000,000,000 for that? So, basically, Canada is getting a 1 billion dollar dam and 9 billionaires. At taxpayer expense.

>I'm retarded please rape my face

This is a poster that voted for trudeau

>no argument
classic
love talking to underaged trash that have never been on a project before flub about muh jobs

This isn't a beaver dam. It's a huge project.

You work at a grocery store faggot. You didn't get your leftist retarded paws on this project, you lost. Industry wins, Indians and thousands of trees lost. Deal with it

I'm an electrician you retard lol
You have no clue about what you're talking about.

Who gives a fuck about the price. What matters is that it is all pointless as it only benefits the plutocrats and thier system of interchangable citizens.
You make a gambit and invest in yourself and future. Can't believe i am saying this to these flags.

>Who gives a fuck about the price.
People that buy stuff?

China is #1!

...It's concrete and turbine generators.
The Burj Khalifa didn't cost that much.

Lol then you should literally kill yourself. You are one stupid ignorant fuck.

1990 looks better desu

Nigger I'm not going to discuss this with an anime avatarfag

Ive seen it its huge they got a viewing area south of fort st john and pictures of what it will look like. When you drive from fsj to hudsons hope theres signs on the trees that say this how them water gonna rise. I dont know why its such a big deal theres a big dam by hudsons hope and some more around there

Well, if we remove 90% of the world population...

dude is mentally retarded and doesn't understand that construction and trade unions have been in bed with the provincial government for like 20 years making anything (skytrain, olympic stuff, this damn) cost retarded to make because the project managers hire about 3-4 skilled people to work at a time to keep costs down while the rest of the money from the contract goes into the higher ups pockets

How high them water gonna rise*
If those signs are true they gonna have to build another section of highway for quite a ways

If you live in bc and you have a problem with site C you should actually kill yourself. If you're an electrician and don't understand the significance you should sterilize yourself first so you don't carry your braindead genes on

You wouldn't discuss it with anyone because you're a retard.

we already have an energy surplus and you are for giving a bunch corrupt people 10 billion to build a big dam that wont even make many jobs because unions and will have a staff of 10 people running it when its up?

>How high them water gonna rise

Is this actually what the signs say?

>dude concrete and water
>just pay $100 that aught to cover it

You have no idea the scale or complexity of the project so just shut the fuck up you moron

>mfw canadian government makes it mandatory to hire black transgender handicapped muslims for the project
I will never not laugh at the permanent cucking of Canada - both economically and socially. You retards need to overthrow the government if you want this shit to change.

Goddamn you are one stupid motherfucker.

that's not how it works here retarded 56%

>10.7 billion for a dam you don't even need
>it's complex n shit

Is Canada having a power crisis?

No its some blue squiggly lines and says something like reservoir level

You are, you dumb faggot. That's the whole point

Oh, I get what you're saying now.

RUDE

Shit, nigga

No we sell power to Cali. We're power gods

>Canada
>work

>No we sell power to Cali

Hope you're overcharging them by a lot because those retards are terrible with money.

Canada is getting 9 new billionaires(or nine Canadian billionaires are about to get another billion 'quid' each).

Taxpayers are getting fleeced and the fleecers are tossing you a piece of rawhide to keep you quiet. Then they're going to charge you for the power it gives you because apparently, it costs tons and tons of money™ to let gravity pull water through a turbine.

Actually it is literally how it works, not all but many industries in Canada have quotas for visible minorities, women, natives, people with disabilities and sexual minorities. Our constitution even says that people can discriminate against straight white men, charter of rights and freedoms, section 15 subsection 2. Canada is the worst.

Job creation is not a benefit.

What you fail to understand is that they are doing it to ban coal, oil, gas and nuclear. And then bomb anyone who tries to join them in postindustrialism.

One of the most powerful Hydro Electric dams, the Grand Coulee Dam, only cost about 730 million dollars for the third power plant and about 168 million for the first construction. Apparently the annual generation is like 29 TWh

20* TWh

>Apparently the annual generation is like 29 TWh
Kind of neat when you think about it. That's nothing but the power of gravity affecting water. And that's probably only 1/10th the available energy from that source. A crushing amount of energy and yet it seems so calm.

>free healthcare at the expense of waiting 10+ hours bleeding to death in the waiting room
>it's ok though, hospitals don't charge you a dime

>bleeding to death in the waiting room
WTF were you doin? Circular saw? Chainsaw? Band saw? Leaf blower?

Multi-Billion dollar projects for newly constructed facility is pretty standard now days, especially when it's cold as fuck at the location of construction. Don't get me wrong, contractors feast on government contracts. The main reason for the bloated project cost is a result of men being mouth breathing pussies that want top dollar because they got a certificate from a trade school.

not only is it not calm but it fucks the rivers up permanantly

top looks like it has soul

It is calm. It's not an explosion, there's no fire involved. It's just water moving under the force of gravity. Water is generally "gentle" unless it's being forced by something chaotic.

Humans are still too novice at harnessing energy. A damn shame. Hell we have goddamn rocks(radioactive elements like thorium) that emit energy and we're too chickenshit to use them properly.

>twe will never make a giant energy-harnessing ring around the sun
>we're more likely to see a complete depletion of natural resources
>"social progress" is considered more important

is this why you wear the mask?

That's how it begins.

>the absolute state of canada

...

Free healthcare doesnt mean available health care

>the state of liberal brains
They all talk like they had a stroke; cant even say a 5 letter name correctly.

HAHAHAHAHAHAH. You think they are going to make shit cheaper? Theyll raise your shit to pay for it and then keep it at that price to make money off you. Lol youre not going to get free energy or reduced price or anything. Theyre the ones making money not you . BTFO canada.
