Way to go Dean Dan & Ed

I see the "best minds in the Province" (quote by Minister Dunderdale regarding Energy) are up to speed again.

Listen Newfoundland and Labrador and while you are listening take a sniff.

The sound you hear is the mighty Churchill meandering it's economic potential through Labrador and right in to Central Canada. If you take a sniff you might get a scent of manure being spread around the pastures of Newfoundland and Labrador - as the energy gurus contend they are "all over it" as it relates to energy and industrial development.

In your dreams MacDonald and Williams - if you believe the misguided logic you are using to export hydropower will place us in the same category as Hydro Quebec. In fact you are insuring we never will experience that success.

Hydro developments require significant equipment purchases such as turbines and generators - they are supplied by various manufacturing companies around the world. Obviously Newfoundland and Labrador as with Quebec have engaged in this type of transaction in the past and will do so in our future.

Here's where we miss the boat over and over and over - falling square of the wharf and into the drink...

Here's the latest today - way to go Quebec - hey Dean and Dan you need to connect those advanced fibre-optics (with duct tape) into your brains and see if you can't stimulate the necessary thoughts to lead us to prosperity.

Media advisory - Voith Siemens Hydro Grows Presence in Québec - CEO to address members of the electricity industry

MONTREAL, Jan. 15 /CNW Telbec/ - The President and Chief Executive
Officer of Voith Siemens Hydro Power Generation Hubert Lienhard (PhD) will
deliver an address to members of the Quebec electricity association during his
visit to Montreal on January 17th. His speech will focus on the role of
equipment suppliers in the sustainable development of hydropower.
Founded in 1867, Voith Siemens is a leader in hydropower equipment and
services. The company is responsible for having built and installed close to
one third of the world's hydropower turbines and generators. The opening of a Canadian head office in Montreal, accompanied by the creation of 50 new jobs in 2007 confirms the strong economic potential of hydropower in Quebec and in Canada.

Viper - Bentley - Jaguar - or Mercedes - your oil and gas guzzlers are being left in the dust by the little electric car that could.

And the extinct Newfie Bullet (the Liberals) have gone completely off track with no commentary on the matter. I'll take that means you are in agreement with the PC policy.
