Canada and UK Join to End Global Coal-fired Electricity
- Thread starter mentalfloss

The coal that we have in Alberta has less sulphur than most other coal, so yes coal can be clean burning. As such the scrubbers they were using (cuz the NDP is in the process of shutting them down) meant that the emissions were that of natural gas which is relatively emission free. But stupidity knows no bounds and since the facts don t meet with their ideology, they re closing all coal-fired plants in Alberta. This simply means that we ll be seeing higher electricity prices in the future - in other words we re going to become an Ontario wanna be - extremely expensive power rates and deeply in debt.
It s truly unfortunate that the people who actually know about climate change (like the Tim Balls of the world) are totally ignored - even though they actually know what they re talking about, but they don t meet the ideology of those in power who actually don t know what they re talking about.
Trudeau keeps saying he s working for the middle class but he s actually doing the opposite. He and his ilk want to destroy the middle class - who, btw, were doing very well, thank you very much. But their ideology is the new religion (climate change, political correctness) and be damned if anyone will be allowed to disagree because, when they do, they re classified as either: ignorant, bigoted, deniers, racist, Nazi s, et al.
It used to be that when there was a debate, both sides were allowed to voice their concerns about whatever topic was being discussed until a general consensus is arrived at that both parties could accept. Now, that s not the case. People are not allowed to voice their dissent without the above-mentioned name calling. Science is no longer based on fact but on ideology. Facts are never or not necessarily taken into consideration any more. Unfortunately, by the time the world wakes up, it ll be too late.
Tis a sad, sad thing to be sure!
Uh no, it's not and it didn't. Australia has said "f*ck it" to the Paris Accord. And despite Germany's signature, they're still expanding their lignite operations.
China still burns half of the annual global coal supply.
It's also hilarious to see the Graudian still sticking to the 97% fallacy.
And once again, you morons NEED coal for your gay little unreliable energy sources. You and the rest of the enviro-tards are utterly clueless when it comes to energy infrastructure.
Of course if Trudeau forces the rest of Canada to go the same route as Ontario has gone, the entire country will be subject to rolling blackouts and brownouts like Ontario is already getting.
Which is hilariously hypocritical of them when you realize there are at least TWO active oil fields right smack on the coast of California.
I just love how the dickbags running California and their Hollywood toadies like to pretend that the 43 active oil fields within the state produce no GHGs whatsoever. But then again they get a pretty nice little income stream from oil extraction in California so of course they're not going to screw themselves over. They simply expect everyone else to screw themselves over instead, just like the good little progtards they are.
The dipper disaster in Alberta is good news for BC hydro electric power. We can build a few more dams.
More good news for BC.
GRoss stupidity and mismanagement in other part of the continent are just more good news for us.
I kind of doubt the Port of Vancouver is going to be getting American coal. It would require a massive American investment and I don't think they are going to do that because they already cannot compete with Australia in China. It would be a terrible investment.
Within 5 years Justin Trudeau and Elizabeth May will be out of office, replaced with nationalist leaders with concrete and pragmatic plans to ensure energy self sufficiency, with plans to iterate economic necessity with environmental responsibility by tapping clean sources carbon based energy.
In Britain that will include clean coal technology to compensate for declining resources of North Sea Oil.. for Canada likely less so, but tapping Canada's abundant oil sands. The only thing for sure is the so called 'clean' energy of wind and solar will remain an expensive, inefficient icon of google eyed idealism that lacks any practical capacity to meet energy demands for an industrial society.
By that time the Paris Accord will have completely collapsed by way of internal contradictions, implicit econonmic deconstruction and pseudo science. And Canada hopefully will have someone who is not a doddering, effeminate space cadet and flower child as our head of government.

Do some research . Burlington Northern ( owned by Warren Buffet who else ) ships American coal to Robert Bank Coal Port , situated right in the Fraser River Delta . That Buffet guy sure is green with his hate for pipelines .
Where is it being shipped to? Canada banned asbestos, we still ship a lot of it (in raw form) to 3rd world countries knowing full well it will kill many who work with it. We really don't seem to give a fuk about that, what we do care about is keeping some company in Quebec in the money loop.
Perhaps their political contributions should be looked at to see who pulled the strings for them.

Actually Canada doesn't. The last two asbestos mines in Canada closed in 2011.

Re: Canada and UK Align to End Global Coal-fired Electricity
Earth is not fine.
The burning of coal has caused great harm.
You are so wrong.
I would not buy a power tool that plugs into the wall anymore. Corded tools are relics because battery technology has improved so much.
The computer has broken all time constraints. What might have taken 100 years can now be accomplished in a day.
