Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For almost a decade now, the 13 billion dollar Muskrat Falls hydroelectric project has been a central defining problem in the public life of Newfoundland and Labrador. As the essays collected in Muskrat Falls: How a Mega-Dam Became a Predatory Formation show, the dam's promise of clean hydro-power has been accompanied by an interconnected assemblage of crises linking together the threat of methylmercury poisoning with catastrophic flooding and cultural genocide for people living near the dam, and unmanageable public debt, suppression of alternative energy and threats to affordable domestic heat and electricity for everyone else. Its planning and development have involved the weakening of public regulatory bodies and the creation of a more privatized and less publicly accountable crown corporation overseeing the operation. Muskrat Falls: How a Mega-Dam Became a Predatory Formation offers a multi-dimensional analysis of the social, political and environmental problems the hydroelectric project has caused. It covers issues including Indigenous resistance to the dam; the politics and economics of the project; the role of journalism and social media in covering the event; controversy about the geophysical stability of the dam and interviews people living under threat of flooding and methylmercury poisoning downstream. The volume also contains original artwork and photography about the dam and fictional prose about life in the area around the Falls. Muskrat Falls will be of interest to local readers trying to understand how the dam will change life in the province and to anyone trying to understand and respond to any of the very many other similar, crisis-ridden energy and infrastructure projects being built around the world now. The book provides a rich case study of a crisis for scholars and students interested in areas such as energy studies, environmental humanities, Indigenous studies, critical infrastructure studies, and Canadian studies."--

Book excerpt: Labrador has significant potential for the production of hydroelectric power, ranking it among the top remaining, undeveloped resources in North America. The proposed Muskrat Falls project at Lower Churchill Falls would be the second major development of Labrador's hydro resource. Hydropower is the leading renewable, noncarbon resource in the world. While no generating resource can be developed without environmental and social impacts, the remote location of the Churchill facilities makes them especially attractive for development. At the same time, their remoteness imposes unusually heavy transmission costs to bring the power to customers -- the load. Because there is no fuel cost, the capital costs of hydro generation and transmission allow planners to have a good idea of power supply costs over the long term.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The two sessions would be webcast live so that persons not living in either of the two communities where the sessions were being held could still observe the proceedings; the video of these webcasts would then be archived on the websites of the Harris Centre and the Commission so that they could be streamed at leisure. [...] However, an estimate was necessary in order to plan for the size of the room, the length of the session, the number of handouts, catering, etc. [...] Does the communication trail between the senior executive and the board of Nalcor clearly show that the board was aware of the costs and the risks associated with the project before signing off on it? [...] And so, the speaker continues, while Nalcor and various governments should indeed shoulder the blame for the way the project turned out, the public should remember that it did not question its leaders and insist that they justify their decision in light of the concerns expressed by the critics of the project. [...] Twelve of the presenters spoke on one or several of four themes: The first referred to methylmercury in the water and to questions about the stability of the North Spur and accused the leaders of the project of trying to "poison" and "drown" the people of the region.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report was commissioned by the Commission of Inquiry Respecting the Muskrat Falls Project to provide the national and international context in which the Muskrat Falls Project took place. The Commission asked for the report to cover three specific topics of questions: (1) What is the national and international context of the Muskrat Falls Project with regards to cost overrun and schedule overrun? (What are the typical cost and schedule overruns of hydro-electric dam projects? How do hydro-electric dams compare to other capital investment projects? How do Canadian projects compare to other countries?), (2) What are the causes and root causes of cost and schedule overruns? (3) What are recommendations, based on international experience and research into capital investment projects, to prevent cost and schedule overruns in hydro-electric dam projects and other capital investment projects?
