Nfld's desperate need for Lower Churchill Power found.
1. Use the revenue from Oil to develop & distribute 'clean electricity' to the island of Newfoundland.
2. Manufacturing Jobs on the island of Newfoundland for when their Oil is all gone.
3. Why the island of Newfoundland Manufacturing first, using Labrador Hydro Electricity?
4. Why not Manufacturing in Labrador first since we are the risk takers (Happy Valley Goose Bay/Mud Lake)and the adjacent ones on this Mighty Grand River?
I'll answer the questions with another question; What else could save the Rock & least keep the mother's sons that are already there & not yet born on the island?
Note: The most respectable thing they could have done would be to set up some manufacturing in Labrador 'first' before taking Labrador's future away. Newfoundland Government could have started with: (a)enticing industries to come here & use the 300mw already reserved for us from the Upper Churchill. (b)They could have had manufacturing ready to run, with their operations ready for when Lower Churchill power came on stream in 2016.

Dunderdale Disagrees(Labrador Wins-?-)
YOU DECIDE!
-------------
Here and Now Late Night - February 25, 2011
Premier Kathy Dunderdale is defending the idea of a federal loan guarantee to develop the Muskrat Falls Hydro Project.
Dunderdale was in Happy Valley Goose Bay today (Feb 25,2011) meeting with elected officials at the Combined Councils.
Yesterday (Feb 24,2011)Labrador's MP Todd Russell said he opposed the Federal Loan Guarantee because he said the project won't benefit the people of Labrador.
Dunderdale disagrees. It absolutely does benefit Labrador in that it helps facilitate(make it easier to bring about) construction of Muskrat Falls. Ha, ha Muskrat Falls will provide energy, much needed clean, green energy, ha to the 'PROVINCE' but it also provides great opportunities for industrial development in Labrador.
----------------------------------------------------------------
1. Will let see: The federal loan guarantees helps make it easier to bring about the construction of Muskrat Falls of which Labrador does not want. We don't want it, mainly because nearly zero benefits for us and the negatives outweigh the benefits by, lets say 99-1.
2. "Will provide energy, much needed clean, green energy, ha to the province". To where? "The province". A careful choice of words, don't you think so? Not Labrador, but the province. Is that the province they speak of in the media, from St.John's to Port au Basques?
3. "but it also provides great opportunities for industrial development in Labrador" Thats a big one but where is the evidence for that, pray tell? First of all. How can there be industries for Labrador from Muskrat Falls when there is absolutely no hydro power slated to come off that proposed power grid for Labrador? Go figure?
Will,there it is folks, not the official government document of positive benefits from a Muskrat Falls,Lower Churchill development I was looking for, but a list none the less, a very small one for sure.

Nation Building, Nfld Style
Removing our national flag. Remember that? Will, it happened and it was ordered by our own premier, Danny Williams.
He claimed it was for good reasons but I wonder what the rest of Canada thought of it. Did he put much thought into the consequences
of such actions? Consequences such as future requests for funding of major projects in NL. consequences such as wanting to run for Prime Minister sometime down the road. Did Danny Williams expect Ottawa to have a short memory and forget about this drastic action?
Lets look at federal funding for the Lower Churchill. After everything that as transpired concerning constant attacks against Ottawa by the Williams government, will the feds actually go out of their way now to help this province finance Muskrat Falls or will they just brush us off? What would you do for an enemy of your government and your country? Will Harper be kind to NL, forgive the PC's and send them a large cheque?
How could the Newfoundland and Labrador Government recover from such a move as removing our countries flag? How can they come back and be forgiven by the Feds so that they can obtain big bucks from Ottawa again? Maybe it could be accomplished by the ring leader (Danny Williams)resigning. Is that why he resigned? Maybe Ottawa will then look at helping us again. Is this the reason Kathy Dunderdale, our new premier is now in Canada's Capital with hat in hand asking for help to develop the Lower Churchill? Will it work or will Ottawa see through this facade? Ottawa knows that NL has the same government that backed Danny Williams by attacking our country. Will Ottawa forgive and forget knowing this fact?
Ottawa also as some additional gripes about this provincial government. Maybe they are asking themselves if this provincial government is really democratic? They have to wonder this after seeing the fiasco with Brad Cabana. Do the Feds want to support financially an un democratic province? Then there is the move by NL PC's to coronate Kathy Dunderdale as the new premier so that she can carry on the work of the former premier, uninterrupted.
Food for thought.
