Fantastic idea, I really hope they are able to get it done.I`m from that part of Alberta though and I can say that even up there where oil and gas exploration is so prevalent, NIMBY groups are going strong. A couple of years ago they effectively scuttled a small dam project for the Peace River (upstream of the town of Peace River) whic would have supplied power for the area. The last I heard it was undergoing a lengthy review process.
