Energy Minister @BruceRalston: You told @BIVnews that re: Peter Milburn's review of #SiteC, termination of the dam prob wasn't a reasonable outcome.
1. That's sunk cost fallacy.
2. Sunk costs aside, Hydro's report says dam is sinking!
3. You're constraining his review? #bcpoli

@BruceRalston @BIVnews ..That's two forms of illogic you're engaging in, @BruceRalston: Not just the sunk cost fallacy, which shows up in BC as the fake "point of no return."

But worse, your #SiteC "point of no return" fiction is moot: that dam long ago reached the "point of can't go forward." In mud.

@BruceRalston @BIVnews ..Minister Ralston, when you say Peter Milburn's #SiteC review probably won't recommend termination of the dam, aren't you openly admitting you're tying his hands, the same way #BCNDP tied the hands of the BCUC in the 2017 #SiteC review, via tightly limited terms of ref? #bcpoli

@BruceRalston @BIVnews ..While I have you here, Minister @BruceRalston: In Dec 2019 it was discovered that #SiteC's key south bank structures were moving. BC Hydro - which you're resp for - only revealed this publicly on July 31, 2020. How much of our money was spent in those 7 months, please? #bcpoli

@BruceRalston @BIVnews ...And Minister Ralston: if you want to dispute that #SiteC is sinking, please, by all means, give us some facts on this secretive project! All the engineers we've consulted say BC Hydro's vague July 31 reports can mean only one thing. But as I say: vague. Please, enlighten us!

..And that's another thing: why IS #SiteC so unprecedentedly shrouded in secrecy? International dam expert Harvey Elwin said he'd never seen so much secrecy on a dam project, INCLUDING THREE GORGES DAM IN CHINA. Explain this, please, then fix it. thenarwhal.ca/site-c-dam-sec… #bcpoli
