Canada Agrees to BC Power Line Plan

Canada is officially on board with a plan for a power line in northwest British Columbia.  Canadian Prime Minster Stephen Harper announced, last week, from Washington, DC that the federal government will invest in a transmission line project that will run along Highway 37 in northern BC.  The announcement is not only a big win for Canadian development proponents, but also for the city and borough of Wrangell and other supporters who have long pushed for an electrical intertie from Alaska to British Columbia.
