There is no understanding of the consequences, of what has been going on in the world on these matters. The dyed-in-the wool environmental crowed (who have many valuable positions and goals), also see these pots as heaven over their hell fear of coal, as if coal is all that is possible. Seems like the threat of coal; as bad as it is, very much keeps these cesspots on the drawing board as a limit to our imagination and engineering skills - there is much invested, osis.
And the worst is that the plant, in order to keep running, would need billions (yes) of dollars of investment (from public money). In all, it would cost more to keep it alive that dissasembling it.
Job wise, at least half of the workers there would actually be needed to take it down and this would be at least a decade-long project.
And you know, our PM also decided to not re-open the Jeffrey mine which is a mine of asbestos. Same thing, people get mad because they want their jobs.
And then our PM has ordered a complete moratory on exploitation of shale gas (20,000+ well project in the Vallée du Saint-Laurent) and again, same story.
Now there are projects for shale oil in the Gaspésie and the Madelaine (which are beautiful natural sites) which we will keep an eye on.
Anyhow, you get the idea. Our new PM has a very solid environmental policy and I personally know the minister of the environment. But other parties (right-winged) are just trying to mess everything.
Peace.
