NaiKun Wind Energy has been in my stock portfolio for about ten years as I am a firm believer in renewable energy for BC to create a 21st century electrical infrastructure that will meet the future needs of British Columbians. The Site C dam, notwithstanding as a megaproject that endangers our food security as Global Climate Warming takes place. the idea of sustainable offshore wind energy, photovoltaics (solar energy), geothermal energy, tidal turbine energy, wave energy and biomass (anaerobic digestors) can make BC a renewable energy powerhouse in the coming decade (with the right political/ entrepreneurial vision).
