Don’t forget that ecological impact has far greater reach. We are a globalized civilization. The impact of preventing the project may result in slower deployment of solar, globally. And we all have a shared atmosphere. Don’t forget to look at the forest while scrutinizing the trees, or game theory will get in the way of progress.

I don’t know the financial details. Those are of little interest to me honestly. And it is very unlikely that the primary shareholders are local – except maybe for gravel used in construction, mining industry shareholders are rarely local. They are subject to Canadian regulations, and mining is under provincial jurisdiction constitutionally. So there will always be some local say in any project. I would still support it even if it was Chinese owned. Because we need the panels to get off oil.
