Welcome to our campaign to save the Rupert River |
 This initiative was started by three Cree communities in the James Bay area – Nemaska, Waskaganish and Chisasibi which have the most to lose from Hydro-Quebec’s large scale hydro electric project to dam and divert the Rupert River. It is a project which has divided the Cree nation.
Contrary to popular belief, hydro power is NOT green.
This web site details the mercury poisoning, greenhouse gas emissions such as methane gas, worsening air quality, massive flooding of the boreal forest, the loss of more than 70% of the water from the Rupert River – all so that Hydro-Quebec can sell more dirty power to the United States.
Savetherupert.org exposes the flawed environmental assessment process, the myths and deception surrounding this project. It highlights the truly green energy alternatives which can provide more than enough power to replace this project in a very cost-effective manner.
Join the growing opposition to this environmental destruction in Quebec, across Canada and the U.S. - together we can stop this travesty and save the Rupert!
Meegwetch!
