About the book
"During the past fifty years, Canadian white-water rivers have been dammed or diverted to generate electricity primarily for industry and export. The rush to build dams increased utility debts, hurt the environment and local communities, and resulted in the layoff of 25,000 employees. White Gold shows what went wrong with major private and public hydroelectric projects - with their timing and magnitude, their expected influence on industrial transformation, and their integration into regional or national power grids."--BOOK JACKET. "Karl Froschauer examines five major projects - Niagara Falls (Ontario), Churchill Falls (Labrador), James Bay (Quebec), the Nelson River (Manitoba), and the Peace River (BC) - applying a unifying political economy perspective to his analysis of Canadian hydro development patterns."--BOOK JACKET.
