I will do my best to answer that.
When looking at power supply, simply in the province of Alberta, for example, from a Capital Power point of view, we recognize that there are huge coal reserves, something like 32 billion tonnes of coal in the ground that are economically mineable. So our view is that it's not necessarily the only source of fuel for future power generation, but it's not an energy source that you can simply ignore and walk away from.
We do have considerable experience to date in using coal in the province for power generation, but we do recognize that environmental emission standards are changing as we speak, and that really brought on the need for Genesee 3, which was at its time and still is the cleanest coal-fired power generation in Canada. It's a supercritical unit, but we do recognize now that there's another step that has to be made.
In our portfolio of supply we do have coal, natural gas, wind, small hydro, and so forth, and one thing I would always advise when you're designing a power system is never to rely on any one particular source of fuel. We recognize that in that portfolio the coal has a significant role to play. Our responsibility is to try to make that coal-fired generation as clean as possible, and that is the purpose of the last three years that we spent in designing the IGCC project and bringing it to the point where it is now ready for commercialization.
It will not be commercialized, it will not be built, unless we get some additional help from public funds and from things like changes to the Income Tax Act. But we're not saying that coal is necessarily the panacea. We're saying it is one of the energy sources for a portfolio of supply options that we have available to us, particularly in this province.
