Miners make a great wage which they deserve. When they strike, people should be sympathetic towards them.
What some people dont realize is coal might be the best way to recharge all these fictional fuel cells should they become practical
Actually natural gas contains a number of pollutants such as sulphur. Alberta is one of the largest producers of sulphur in the world, all of it extracted from natural gas before it is shipped to consumers.
It's not from NG. It's from heavy oil upgrading and very valuable.
Why do you smurf things up?
If you are clueless shut your smurfhole instead of lying.

You really are poorly informed about your own industry aren't you? Sulphur has been a by-product of natural gas production in Alberta for decades. Hell, you can drive right by stockpiles of sulphur just north of Calgary on the Queen Elizabeth highway. Last I checked there is no heavy oil upgrader there. Let me give you some advice. Before you contradict anything I post know your facts.
Sulfur - Natural Gas - Alberta's Energy Heritage
About seventy employees of the coal-fired electrical plant at Gibbons Creek in Anderson are being laid off.
The Texas Municipal Power Agency is moving to seasonal operations, meaning it will only run during the hot summer months, June through September.
Both TMPA and Bryan Texas Utilities officials say, it's not economical to keep the plant running year round. With the recenticetag of natural gas, and the advent of more efficient alternative enrgy sources, they say coal power is just too expensive.
The layoffs at TMPA will begin in October. About 20 employees will remain to run safety operations at the plant over the winter. Then, as June approaches, more will be added back to get the plant up to full operation for the summer.
Bryan, Garland, Denton, and Greenville make up the Texas Municipal Power Agency. The TMPA has been trying to sell this power plant for nearly a year now. BTU officials say, it's not going well, and there are no pending sales nor attractive offers.
The deadline to sell is September 2018. At that point, the TMPA board will have to decide whether to shut down operations at Gibbons Creek completely.
