“B.C. Hydro's current push to extend the life of two gas plants in the province is a stopgap measure that will maintain an unsustainable status quo of dirty energy and crowd out a broader, regional clean energy future if we allow it.” Read the piece

Restrict new oil and gasExpand production and export
“Reliability concerns are real, but emphasis on "keeping the lights on" is narrowing the debate to a winter peak period in which gas appears as the only reliable answer, even though B.C. Hydro's own official planning documents point to utility-scale batteries, expanded demand-side measures and new clean energy projects as part of the solution.” Read the piece
Only opinion columns and editorials are scored. Each piece is read twice by a language model, which records the author's own stance on a policy topic only where the piece argues one, with a quote that must appear in the piece. An author's position on a topic is the average of their pieces, weighted by the model's confidence. News reporting is listed but never scored.
