Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Just to understand a little bit more, we're talking here about unit capital cost, etc. To get back to roughly where Mr. Russell was at least starting to go, we have the whole cost question. Let's be blunt: there are a dozen different ways out there to generate electricity. Some, like solar, are ridiculously expensive. Coal is very inexpensive.
With all these scrubbers or gasification or other technological changes, what sorts of cost hikes are we looking at if this goes through as planned? I realize there's a range, but at what point does it become uneconomical? I realize if you're producing with coal, you have to compete against other producers. I realize that for some, like nuclear, there are huge infrastructure costs, and for some, like natural gas, the fuel cost is very different, and there are base power prices and peak and so forth. With all those caveats slapped on there, at what point does it start to become uneconomical? Will it be the cost that stops us from using these technologies that we're trying to implement or will it just be the science and technology problem?
