RE:RE:RE:The purpose of torches is reduction of GHGI can only speak to my neigbourhood: Quebec/Labrador
In nothern Quebec western Labrador there is an enormous supply of clean ( hydro ) energy available. Churchill Falls and newly active Muskrat Falls ( the lower Churchill ) aleady supply energy to the Carol Lake pellet plant ( 6 machines making pellets ) The right of way for new transmission lines was already granted to the Alderon project to open a new mine. The project died due to lack of investors, but it was recently bought by the Bloom Lake operators as part of their planned expansion.
Labrador is the mainland part of Newfoundland/Labrador. Politically speaking the timing could not be better for the province as it's revenu from off shore oil is tanking and the province needs the jobs from new mining and a market for the electricity from the Muskrat Falls hydro project which is coming on line now and is overbudget to an embarassing degree.
