British Columbia's Progress on Wind Energy

The July 2006 edition of the North American Wind Power magazine has an article on the wind industry in British Columbia. Written by Garry Hamilton of Hemerra Environmental, it is a very informative article both on the industry and the Environmental Assessment process. The article also extensively discusses the Bear Mountain Wind Park project.
