Another outsider, another outragous contract. A $100,000 a month, I guess not a bad gig if you can get one.

You go, Alberta. Surely you have enough natural gas. If not, BC would be glad to ship you some, just as we send nice clean hydro power your way.

Wow. This guy oversaw the retirement of 16GW of coal power. Sounds like the wrong guy for the job. I mean, why do we want an environment with less pollution and radioactive carbon-14?

Christy the world's dumbest MILF probably put a permanent kibosh on any of that happening with the comments that have been coming out of her giant mouth for the last several years. Too bad, so sad, so you better go talk to the Yanks if you want a place to dump your surplus.

They don't want it either. We should do more to use it ourselves, including converting fleet trucks to LNG.

Whatever it takes. Can't do fuck all with that electrical site Cluck's bet the entire farm on though. The Dippers in Edmonton openly said that there'll be none of it coming into Alberta without an agreement from the BC government on the Transmountain pipeline expansion. Some of the execs in the oil towers might think differently but absolutely no one else here is in any rush to do BC any favours on their gas or electrical after the way Cluck's used us as some kind of a scapegoat over the last three or four years.

Yep, phase out coal but keep shipping it by the megaton to China.

China said on Monday it expects to lay off 1.8 million workers in the coal and steel industries, or about 15 per cent of the work force, as part of efforts to reduce industrial overcapacity, but no time frame was given.

It was the first time China has given figures that underline the magnitude of its task in dealing with slowing growth and bloated state enterprises.
