Moving target

I would hope, quite frankly, that if all things go well, that by the end of this year we should be in a position to possibly announce a deal on the Lower Churchill.
- Danny Williams to reporters, February 14, 2005

We are working towards a project sanction in 2009 and first power in 2015.

Under the leadership of My Premier, who is chair of both the Council of the Federation and its Energy Committee, Newfoundland and Labrador is currently working with other provinces and territories to produce a Pan-Canadian Energy Strategy. Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro already developed, on My Government’s behalf, a comprehensive Lower Churchill project execution plan to achieve a project sanction date by 2009 and first power by 2015.

Ummm... errr... gulp...
-2008

You will see the development of the Lower Churchill in our lifetime, and long before that, for the benefit of the people of Newfoundland and Labrador.
- Kathy Blunderdale, on VOCM with Randy Simms, September 4, 2009

Coming soon:

You will see the development of the Lower Churchill before the sun expands into its red-giant phase and vapourizes the earth, and long before that, for the benefit of the people of Newfoundland and Labrador.

You will see the development of the Lower Churchill before the heat death of the universe, and long before that, for the benefit of the people of Newfoundland and Labrador.

I never expect to see hydro sites developed at Gull Island or Muskrat Falls with Danny or Duncerdale running the show....they are simply incapable of accepting the reality that the world will not loan them the money to proceed without Hydro Quebec involvement and are unwilling to accept any deal with HQ because of the political risk associated with it.
