So you mean to tell me because NBPOWER made a huge mistake a few years back and they are suffering a "loss" that we the taxpaying, nbpower using, citizens, (who are going to get a increase in our rates of upwards of 13%)now have to be endangered just to help them get back on their feet? That seems fair.
I love that saint john has one more thing to be proud of.....
"Coleson Cove is the largest fossil fuel burning power plant east of Ontario, and when it's running at full capacity emits more greenhouse gases than any single plant in Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labrador or Quebec"
Way to go NB POWER!
I can see what is going to happen, were going to end up with 5X the amount of sick kids (and adults too) than we already do becasue they can't be careful enough to prevent wind from coming into contact while it is being delivered???? NICE....
Haven't they learned anything from the sydney tar ponds and coke ovens??
Coke ovens, aluminum smelters, and power plants that burn fossil fuels produce large amounts of PAHs. PAHs that washed down Coke Ovens Brook contaminated the sediment in the Tar Ponds.
There are more than 100 different PAHs. Prolonged exposure to large quantities of some PAHs can cause health problems.
