RE: Don't sell our coal, that's ridiculous!
RE: Don't sell our coal, that's ridiculous! And by the way, you can't scrub CO2. And Carbon Capture and Storage does not exist. There is simply too much to try to squirrel it away somewhere.
The only fix that will work is to stop burning the stuff. That means consumers need to stop demanding it (and China is the world leader in clean technology and is reducing its coal usage by leaps and bounds).
There are a huge amount of resources that Canada does not sell because it has been found detrimental to society if we do. We sell a lot less tobacco. We sell almost no asbestos. We sell no freon. We sell no opiates or marijuana.
It is time we stop selling thermal coal.
