Will Shand and/or Boundary Dam be converted from coal to gas-fired? No, but SaskPower is looking at it. If they do, that’ll be a whole lot of coal miners and coal processing staff out of work.

Why, the coal is not causing any problem except in the minds of idiots and morons.
It is already gas fired, almost constantly. Whenever the coal quality drops they add more gas to maintain optimal temps. We had a main gas line rupture while working on the last turbine that went in, could barely see across the main area because of the gas leak. Probably one of the messiest evacuations I’ve seen fml
I didn’t know the power plants were using Nat gas to help with heat generation. Often wondered why the gas being flared all around the country side couldn’t be consolidated into the burners at the power plants. 1- to reduce wasted energy. 2- lower carbon output(to placate the feds). 3- reduce ash
Sounds like you were in a very dangerous situation, with that gas leak.
Calling BS on that. Natural gas is colorless. No way it reduced visibility.
The interesting thing here is coal is a stable fuel! This believing that CO2 is warming the earth is ridiculous ! If we survive this insanity , man kind will look back on Anthroprogenic Climate change as being the biggest HOAX in human history!
Climate Doom denier! /s off
The purpose of power generation is not to create jobs. It’s to produce power at as low cost and efficiently as possible. The only relevant question is simple: will gas conversion result in lower cost power generation.
Goes double for food
Agree with both of you. More expensive energy = more expensive food. Since both are global commodities, increasing the base cost of either one means increased poverty and people die somewhere in the world. Environmentalism is a cult of death worshippers.
You’re the carbon they want to reduce. Everything else is a pile of lies to get the job done.
