RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: low Yes, I think that more money should be spent on monitoring, and if found that there needs to be more money spent on cleanup, then that expense should go to the miner, but I also believe that the bond will be sufficient to cover all this.
As for your comment on carbon tax, it just won't work IMO. Importing and exporting, how many times would you expect a product to be taxed?
I think that the taxes paid by companies are already enough, and anything extra or double taxation on any goods, be it food or fuel, will eventually be dumped onto consumers. No matter how you look at it, that's what usually happens, IMO.
As for Sask Power, they are the first, but hopefully if their plant performs how they believe it will, then I would honestly hope that their process be adopted worldwide, which would then reduce CO2 emissions considerably.
