The Burrard Thermal Plant : Resistance, Politics and Economic Power.
The history of the Burrard Thermal Generating Station in Port Moody, BC, is told in two acts. The first tells the story of privateelectricity generation in B.C. through the early 1960s and the second of environmental resistance and changing public opinion around energy projects from the late 1960s onward. Along the way it will narrate events at Burrard Thermal, from the reasoning underpinning its construction, through the beginnings of environmental organization around air pollution issues and wildly oscillating fuel prices to a decades long battle around pollution permits, carbon taxes and a scheduled decommission. Since the 1961 nationalization of B.C.’s electricity generating utilities to form B.C. Hydro, the changing energy preferences of the government in Victoria has supplanted the energy market as the primary factor influencing the fate of Burrard Thermal. ; Arts, Faculty of ; Geography, Department of ; Unreviewed ; Undergraduate
