RE:RE:RE:old saying !thanks Max for the reply and I have no hard feelings , what happened here with my post was i started to rant . for the last 4 months or so it seems all i read on energy was the war and other country's starting to use coal again . I understand the little bit of thermo coal that Alberta ships is about a grain of sand in a mason jar ! That said , China and India uses around 5,283 MT thermo coal for hydro power and heating . With Ontario starting up a NG power unit for extra power I was thinking that they need the power to charge all these EV ! Anyway 1 thermo coal mine with around 2mt a year is around 40 km south from the new Cascade power plant and its work force travels past it daily from Edson , another mine 50 km west produces around 5mt a year . Coal can be used very clean with scrubbers and the use of carbon capture . My motto is a clean environment and recycle all waste . I own lots of energy stocks and enjoy PEYTO 'S DIVI which is oct 14 . BCRNW
