A new report suggests Ontario could stop using coal almost
entirely by next year.
Jack Gibbons of the Ontario Clean Air Alliance says the province
is getting about four thousand new megawatts of power next year,
pretty much eliminating the need for coal.
But the agency that runs the power system isn’t so sure.
The Independent Electricity System Operator says the new power
coming online next year will be largely gas-fired and may not be 100
per cent reliable right away.
