Energy Probe

It looks that way. The Alberta Department of Energy yesterday confirmed that coal, the lowly, grubby black stuff otherwise known as yesterday's fuel, will make a star appearance in Premier Ralph Klein's Throne Speech on Feb. 22. Details are scant, but it looks like Mr. Klein will extol the virtues of coal as an enthusiastic wannabe member of the new “integrated” energy policy, side by side with oil and natural gas and a few green bits.

The author of your editorial promoting nuclear power for Alberta should have checked the market evidence on nuclear economics before stating that "economics alone suggest that Alberta should not be ruling out the nuclear option."
