He was convinced that Albertans will see no benefit from the said line - that it is really to sell power to the United States. Claiming a need for it allows the bill for the huge construction undertaking to be shifted to the Albertan tax payer. This councilman also claimed that once the line is approved and built, the average Albertan's power bill could very well double.
I dont know much about the situation, and havent done any research, but he sure did not paint a rosey picture at all.
