Yup, even coke needed for making steel from iron. Steel, a manufactured product used to manufacture millions of things....somewhere else.

It's all good, you still need my uranium.

Dofasco still makes steel, here.

There are lots of played out unranium mines in Ontario. Most of it ended up in American weapons.

Anyway, instead of using "your" Uranium, we should be using Thorium forever more.

They got rid of coal in Ontario, which is a fantastic achievement.

A BC mine which my family works at is still shipping thermal coal to Ontario hydro. last I heard(a few weeks ago on skype) it was something like 300,000 tons per year, transported on kenworths

Where are they burning it? All of the coal plants were decommissioned, some time ago. The nearest one to us was dynamited. Nanticake was the last one and it is non-functional and I believe partly demolished (I will ask my cousin who used to work there)

We couldn't burn coal here anymore if we wanted to. Perhaps that was going to Hamilton for coking They still do that).

My workplace has 1 charging station, so the max stay is 2hrs. Enough to charge the car, but Just long enough for the rest of the parking lot to fill to the nuts. It is already busy with just a few cars, I'm not interested in being the next owner.

Oil is down to $26 per barrel.

It costs more to produce than to sell.

That's bad business.

That's a pretty stupid assumption.

There are plenty of successful crowd funded projects.
