BUT, what happens to the Grid when the remaining Coal Fired Plants are taken off line??
Remember burning Coal is bad just like gas and Diesel.
Depends on how good the planning was. In the 1980’s Alberta was close to 80 percent coal. They are now closing the last coal plant this month. Now it’s natural gas and wind with some solar and biomass thrown in. By the end of this year Canada will be at about 5 percent coal. Coal was super expensive. There are still 3 provinces that have some coal power. Hydro and wind continue to grow.
