The Alberta government claims on health risk are not supported by the evidence.

FACT CHECK

Alberta has the technology to mitigate coal-fired power plant emissions and reclaim useful elements, directly from the stack.  It is already in use at Boundary Dam in Saskatchewan.

USING TECHNOLOGY TO ADDRESS COAL PLANT EMISSIONS

 

Alberta faces the risk of blackouts due to coal phase-out and market uncertainty – as well as more medical costs due to heat-or-eat poverty from increased costs.  Of course, the > $22 billion in coal phase-out costs will fall on consumers.

DIRE CONSEQUENCES – Blackouts for Alberta

Do Canadians cause global warming? Only in climate ‘models’ (simulations).  Real temperature data does not support the projections.

CANADIANS CAUSE GLOBAL WARMING – in SIMULATION

Thre is evidence that vested interests are skewing public information on coal in order to push expensive wind and solar (which would not have a market without the climate catastrophe theory).

In fact, wildfire smoke and other ground level emissions are far greater factors in air pollution and health risk than coal.

BURNING QUESTIONS

All medical services rely on affordable, reliable power.  Read our report “Burning Questions”  and “Dire Consequences” – then ask a few BURNING questions of your own, of your elected officials.
