RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: Circumstantial Evidence Very well said.
We are at a difficult point in our economic development as a human race. We have gone through many energy transitions in the past, but they have been of an evolutionary nature rather than a reaction to threat.
Government policy is the only legitimate way of stemming the growth of CO2 emissions. Just as the BC government has banned the burning of coal as a heat source (commonly used in greenhouses until the ban), so too will they have to ban the sale of coal to thermal/electricity plants.
In the mean time companies are free to plan whatever they feel they should to satisfy their investors.
Wouldn't it be something if the investors in CEC demanded they abandon any plans of selling coal to the thermal market and CEC listened?
Wouldnt it be something if the investors in CEC demanded Compliance take every measure to reduce their CO2 footprint (including transportation by rail, emissions of shipping, etc) with all their other environmental performance metrics.
That would be really something. Until that time comes though, it's left up to others. And unfortunately for CEC that turns most commonly to opposition to their coal mine as a whole.
Thanks bg2.
