VICTORIA, BC—The September budget update stimulates the old, fossil fuel economy while failing to invest in the new, green economy of the future, says Guy Dauncey, President of the BC Sustainable Energy Association.

“People are looking for leadership to move off the old, fossil fuel based economy,” said Dauncey. “Economic stimulus spending is a golden opportunity to invest in the new, green economy. Unfortunately, this budget falls back on highways and oil and gas development.”
