In today’s program we return our focus to pressing issues here in British Columbia and wade back into the mucky mire of the Site C dam project.  Joining us today is an energy expert, Mr. Robert McCullough.  Mr. McCullough has produced a number of reports to date regarding Site C, with the most recent one being published at the end of Feb 2021.  Mr. McCullough is the Principal of McCullough Research in Portland, OR, and has been in business for over twenty five years advising governments, utilities, and First Nations on energy, metals, paper, and chemical issues.  He has testified repeatedly in state, federal, and provincial courts as well as before Congress and other regulatory bodies.
