We understand the desire to follow a long-term decarbonization path but question the merits of the timeline, write the column’s authors. Since writing two columns discussing the NDP government’s modelling of the economic implications of its CleanBC Roadmap to 2030 (CleanBC), we have heard from advocates of the plan suggesting our description of the results is incomplete or somehow takes the projections out of context. The latest pushback comes from Dr. Nancy Olewiler in an opinion piece published by BIV. We are pleased to engage with Dr. Olewiler. From the time we first stumbled upon the modelling results in an Excel spreadsheet posted in an obscure location on the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change’s website, our chief concern has been that the economic dimensions of CleanBC have never been adequately communicated to legislators, local governments, First Nations, businesses or the public generally.
