Greenwashing Vancouver's Wind Turbine

Описание: "The Eye of the Wind" up on Grouse Mountain, is a popular tourist attraction in North Vancouver, BC. But people have noticed... it never spins. In this video, I hike up Grouse and we dig into the real story behind why this wind turbine, that was marketed as a groundbreaking clean energy solution, never ever spins.

As it turns out, the more I learned, the more questions I had...

Thank you all for your support on my last video, it really meant the world to me, and not even in my wildest dreams did I expect 30,000 hits and now 962 subscribers. 962 people is hard to even imagine, and just so happens to put my channel close to being monetized! So please subscribe if you enjoy the video- and are interested in more North Vancouver stories. Thanks again

Firstly Jon Petrie's paper deserves a read, after having already worked so long on my video I almost felt like giving up when I saw how well he covered the topic- but I think having both of our perspectives is worthwhile.
