let's send it overseas

The BC Grits have just signed a deal with South Korea for them to buy our alternative energy, according to an article in the Vancouver Sun.

the country is focusing on wind, solar, hydrogen fuel cells and coal gasification

Wow. So South Korea is buying our so-called 'green' energy, leaving us to rely on the Tar Sands to get by. As the president of the BC Technology Industry Association says about South Korea in the article, "These guys, when they put their mind to it, they just go. There's a certain boldness that probably would be good for us to focus on."

No shit.

Makes you wonder if it's because BC can't afford its own alternative energy.

Later in the article, we find out that this deal is also

aimed at helping B.C. business enter the Korean market

Aha! So not only will we send our energy there, but shortly those same industries bent on creating the green energy will also relocate to South Korea. Awesome.
