CBC letter to the editor
In February, CBC published an article on offshore wind development in Nova Scotia that framed the province’s electrical grid as the primary constraint on future development. Missing from that discussion, however, was any serious acknowledgment of the people and industries already relying on the offshore banks under consideration — most notably the fishing sector, and potentially key marine transportation routes as well.
As President of the Canadian Association for Seafood Security & Energy Development, I believed it was important to submit a letter to the editor to address that omission. While CBC did not publish it, the issues raised are too important to leave unspoken, and so we are publishing them here.
