    “Some factual information for you. Have you any idea how much damage that bulldozer would suffer if I just let it roll straight over you?”

    “How much?” said Arthur.

    “None at all,” said Mr. Prosser.

    this exploration has yet to be approved by local government, maybe spend less time protesting outside of worksite and more time campaigning in the local community if you want to stop it.

    Says someone in Canada knowing no one will roll over them.

    Go to a third world country and test your ideals there.

    Edit: before the environmentalists come for me, I didn’t even read the details and have no position on this project. Just hate bravado from hippies who haven’t faced a swift kick in the behind.

    Canadians should be focusing on developing our energy and resources. We should be leaders in these categories. We should be in a trade surplus and fix our shit hole economy.

    Don’t all the right wing chuds in here criticize China for continuing to use coal? But for some reason when coal is poisoning waterways in Canada they seem to love it.

    I don’t know the full story, but if it is like the coal mining in the lower eastern BC, it’s metallurgical coal not power plant coal they’re after, which is a higher grade, harder to find, and gets sold to China/other steel making countries.

  7. It is imperative that people learn the difference between metallurgical and thermal coal. A previous comment in this thread mentioned our anger at Chinas coal use. That is thermal coal, an energy form that can be massively offset by our LNG or very green Hydrogen energy. Metallurgical coal is what makes steel. There is nothing else that can at the moment. Thermal coal can also be used to form hydrogen energy with a HUGE portion of carbon emissions captured.

    Bc and Alberta need to band together to become leaders in Green Hydrogen energy and LNG, while capitalizing on the high grade metallurgical coal in our area. It is the GREENEST path forward. Or we could put up red tape and allow places with zero workers rights or climate concerns to lead the market.

    Title reminded me of the Eliran Mizrahi, IDF bulldozer driver story.

    I hoped I’d be fortunate enough to forget that story.
