Prince George, B.C.- The City of Prince George has received an honourable mention in the 2009 Energy & Climate Action Awards handed out at the Union of B.C. Municipalities Convention in Vancouver.
Prince George was recognized for implementing a broad spectrum of innovative initiatives " demonstrating city‐wide dedication and commitment to reducing greenhouse gases."
The Town of Gibsons won the Community Planning and Development category for development of the Upper Gibsons Neighbourhood Plan. The centerpiece of this neighbourhood plan is the new Upper Gibsons Geoexchange . The first of its kind in North America, this system, which will be owned and operated by the municipality, will provide renewable earth energy heating to all new buildings in Upper Gibsons, reducing GHG emissions from heating and hot water by an astonishing 96% (1,450 tonnes). This project will result in energy cost savings of $350,000 annually and about 1/3 of that will be returned to residents as energy cost savings.
The District of Lake Country has won the award in the Corporate Operations category for the Lake Country Hydroelectric Generating Station, a low impact micro‐hydro project that harnessed the power of the existing high elevation water supply system to produce clean, green energy. The municipally owned and operated hydro project, which is the first of this type to sell power back to BC Hydro, will produce approximately 3900 Megawatt‐hours of emission‐free, renewable electricity per year, enough to power roughly 400 homes.

It has been recently discovered that one of the building blocks that warming scientists use all over the world has been called into question, the hockey stick graph. This graph supposedly shows a steep global rise in temperature over the last 20 years, remember that 79 billion spent in the last 20 years. Turns out this graph is based on tree rings of just 12, yes just 12 cherry picked trees in northern Russia. Wow good scam.
Yes it is good to cut down pollution, but C02 is not pollution, its a money maker but is not polluting.
