Quotes from leading environmental organisations
David Suzuki Foundation (Vancouver, BC, Canada)
“We were pleased to learn that both BC Hydro and federal agencies are interested in pursuing further demonstration initiatives involving tidal and ocean power technologies. As you know, we believe these forms of energy development are worthy of attention and research and development support. … (We) support the further development of tidal and ocean power sources and encourage inclusion of those sources within government and utility programs designed to foster renewable energy sources.” -- Gerry Scott (Director, Climate Change Campaign) 07/2001
David Suzuki Foundation (Vancouver, BC, Canada)
“BC’s coastline is ideal at several locations for hydro turbine energy production. Please encourage BC Hydro, Environment Canada and Industry Canada to contact our office for material on Climate Change and why tidal energy is one of Canada’s solutions. … Government support for Ballard Power moved it from an undercapitalized energy concept to a world leading fuel cell developer. Government support for ecologically friendly hydro-turbine technology could similarly move the Davis concept into production on a national and international scale.” - Jim Fulton (Executive Director) 07/2001
Sierra Club of British Columbia (Victoria, BC, Canada)
“The Sierra Club of BC is very interested in exploring what means of support the Government of Canada is proposing to offer to renewable energy projects in BC. We are especially interested in exploring how support could be given to prototypes that show a potential for successful pilot projects, such as the Davis Hydro Turbine.”
- Michael Mascall (Chair) 07/2001
The Society Promoting Environmental Conservation (Vancouver, BC, Canada)
“Tidal energy in particular deserves full investigation as a viable energy alternative. Of all the choices at our disposal, tidal energy appears to be the least understood – even though it has many times the energetic potential as wind, for example. The Society Promoting Environmental Conservation fully supports any initiatives or demonstration projects which would prove it to both environmentally benign and a reliable source of electrical power.” - David Cadman (President) 07/2001
