VP Hydro - Quote of the Decade

Yesterday produced the quote of the decade.

It is one of those statements that needs nothing else said.

It is one of those statements that makes one want to pack up their bags and move from their beloved Newfoundland and Labrador.

It is one of those statements that you consume and consume again - then just shake your head.

Then it Dawn's on you.

These are the experts.

It is time to clean house both politically and corporately within Nalcor.

Here's the quote as reproduced in a CBC story "We don't build the system to meet extreme circumstances, because it becomes very costly," said Henderson. "So what we do is we plan our generation to meet what we'd call a normal cold winter day, and what we'd normally experience."

One would think that with the projected cost of Muskrat Falls that we are building a CADILLAC SYSTEM that will withstand an one-hundred year storm event. But I sort of expect the only assurance for that project is the brains or orchestrators and their families of the Muskrat Falls Project will be well situated for the rest of their lives at the expense of the hydro consumers of Newfoundland and Labrador.

We all remember the hurricane named Igor when every bit of infrastructure burst its seams because the culverts were too small to carry away the excess water. If the culverts were big enough the handle the amount of rain we had received the damage would have been limited to the least possible damage, if any, at all.

The orchestrators should only expect a normal salary like the rest of the electorate and they should concentrate on building the best possible infrastructure possible from the exorbitant projected price tag that we are told it will end up at. We have to STOP Corruption before it begins.
