For the summer of 2024, The EcoCentric is featuring some of the best interviews from the past year.
Nelson Hydrologist Dr. Martin Carver says climate change is a big impact on the BC drought and weather patterns that have been extreme for the last couple of years. We talked about how it affects our water bodies, forests and our future. Our lake is still quite low. This interview first aired on April 9 this year.
How can Canadians bring down our carbon emissions? Do we all have to buy expensive electric vehicles and spend thousands retrofitting our houses and installing heat pumps? Rachel Samson the Vice-President for Research at the Institute for Research on Public Policy says it doesn’t have to be that way. In fact, with good government supports and policies, bringing down emissions should SAVE people energy AND money. This segment first played November 14 last year.
Nelson Hydro provides great rates for our local electricity, but spikes in power use, peak loads like we had in January, can cost us all more. Nelson Hydro manager Scott Spencer explains this and what we as users and our utility can do to keep our electricity costs down. This interview aired back on January 23rd.
