The Fondation Rivières judges that the La Romaine hydroelectric complex, whose official inauguration took place this morning, is a very bad example of use of public funds.
After their film Chercher le cours, directors Nicolas Boisclair and Alexis De Gheldere as well as our co-founder Roy Dupuis return to the Romaine River, on the North Shore of Quebec, to take stock of the situation.
Fondation Rivières is pleased to note that several of the recommendations in the Report of the Commission on Energy Issues in Quebec, entitled Maîtriser notre avenir énergétique (Mastering our Energy Future), echo our repeated requests over several years.
Consultations on energy are fast approaching in Quebec. It’s time to inform ourselves about the environmental and economic issues that concern us! Hydro-Québec is seeking to increase its rates while it is engaged in producing new surplus electricity.
Chercher le courant is a documentary by Nicolas Boisclair and Alexis de Gheldere, starring Roy Dupuis, that takes us down the Romaine River one last time before it is destroyed by a hydroelectric complex.
Brief – The Fondation Rivières filed a brief with the Bureau d’audiences publiques sur l’environnement (BAPE) concerning the hydroelectric development project on the Romaine River.
