Dynamite Stories

When Alfred Nobel combined mercury fulminate and nitroglycerine to create dynamite he never imagined the carefree and ingenious ways it would be used in the Refuge Cove homesteads, Actress Passage logging outfits and Ripple Rock shipping lanes on the coast of British Columbia. But, where there’s dynamite, there are Dynamite Stories about its users and their varied use and abuse of volatile substances which Williams has gathered from unreliable sources.

Feds Scrap Bute Inlet Private Power Project's Environmental Assessment

The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency announced earlier this week that it is terminating the environmental assessment of the massive proposed Bute Inlet private river diversion project.

The Agency explained the decision in a short media release:

Bute Hydro Inc. had proposed to construct 17 run-of-river hydroelectric facilities in the vicinity of Bute Inlet. The project was referred to a panel review in May 2009 and the Panel appointed in the summer of 2009. In March 2011, as Bute Hydro Inc. did not intend to move forward with the environmental assessment process, the Minister of the Environment disbanded the Panel and released the Panel members from their obligations under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act.
