OPG Nanticoke may turn from burning coal to wood chips/wood waste btw.
Shhhhhh, that is a secret.
Not sure how that effects CO2 emmisions but McGinty promised to close the place 2 years ago because it is the largest point source of CO2 in North America and one of the ten biggest plants in world. The place is huge and the amount of coal we deliver there is astounding. I was once told running that place was the equivalent as running 6.2 MILLION cars.
That brings up another possibility and something to discuss, there is a huge environmental cost to making steel. The amount of ore, coal, water and electricity is increadible.
