Alberta burns more coal for electricity,
. . . than the rest of Canada combined, and
. . . 17% of Alberta’s carbon pollution comes from its coal dominated electricity mix. The oil sands emit
. . . 22%, and other oil use accounts for
. . . 24% of its emissions.
3 of Alberta’s coal producers,:
. . . . . . TransAlta,
. . . . . . ATCO, and
. . . . . . Capital Power, will be paid more than
. . . $1 billion Canadian dollars (about 3/4 of a billion in US dollars)
. . . to shut down their plants entirely over the next
. . . 15 years, with complete shut down by 2030.
