RE:RE:RE:Sale of Iroquois Falls/Kingston Efficient Natural Gas Facil.If that's where the electricity is going, to Bitcoin mining. But what choice was there? Contracts for two generating stations expired and facilities were sitting idle.
The decision by an Ontario System Operator in 2017 and 2021 not to extend contracts started everything. More focused on going SMR nuclear route.
Northland talks about the sale as if the funds received are something significant.
Yes that Bitcoin stuff. The amount yet demanded for bitcoin mining the future In Quebec, Ontario and BC is incredible. Would use up a significant amount of the electricity produced. Sad to see (taxpayer subsidized) hydro power going to such operations.
But money talks. I never known for money to remain silent, expect in bank accounts paying 0%.
