You can follow this link to CBC Radio’s Radio Noon interview with Vermont Governor Peter Shumlin, talking about the proposed Lower Churchill hydro development at Muskrat Falls, and discussion around the project at a recent meeting of New England Governors and Eastern Premiers.
One of the main points raised – price.
When CBC asks the governor how a price of power between and 14.7 and 16.5 cents per kWh compares to what they’re paying now, his answer is quite simple – it’s much higher. If the price is that high Vermont would be inclined to generate its own power.
Sigh. This has a familiar ring to it. It sure is hard being right most of the time.
I wonder if the correct interpretation of Governor Shumlin’s comments will generate anywhere near as much Newfoundland media coverage as the speculative misinterpretation of Governor Malloy’s comments did earlier in the week.
I doubt it.
