First-ever speedcubing competition in P.E.I. draws large crowd | SaltWire #rubikscube #charlottetownMike Cooze loves nature, Newfoundland, and all things outdoors. At age 14, he crossed the Avalon Wilderness Reserve on his own with nothing but a map and a compass. Now, decades later, he still cherishes the environment. Cooze lives in eastern Newfoundland, but he’s concerned about projects provincewide.
“It gets on the desk of the environmental minister and then it gets on the desk of Andrew Furey and that's where the water gets really dirty and really cloudy. At the end of the day, politics and dirty politics is how environmental assessments are handled.”Cooze says politics often gets in the way of recommendations from real scientists and experts. He points to projects in the past, including Muskrat Falls.
“It's not a risk, it's when this will fail. I love this province so much. There is nothing, absolutely nothing in Newfoundland for Newfoundland to consume billions and billions of cubic metres of water. They're here because in order to make hydrogen, you need pristine, clean water.” “Where they come in and they rake the gold up. And there was never no bonding, no security put in place for the environment. It all ends up back on the taxpayers.”Cooze says there are better things to focus on than megaprojects. He says the provincial government should have learned from its previous mistakes made with megaprojects such as Muskrat Falls.
“We have people coming from all around the world, every corner. Our tourism industry that we invested in the last 20 years has paid off. We have people coming from every nationality, from every corner of the world, to see what we have,” says Cooze.
