See yesterday’s article where I discuss implications. http://business. financialpost. com/fp-comment/..[thiscrapisntworthreadingfurther]

CCS, what is it good for? Absolutely money. Not for you and I, no, it’s good for oil companies. We’re talking about this because the only “clean coal” plant isn’t working properly yet, and it opened over a year ago (late). The delay is costing SaskPower customers tens of millions

Coal is a four letter word, however.
