I'll go back to another coal question then.
In Nova Scotia we're traditionally referred to as the tailpipe of North America. We can't blame the rest of the world for the problem; we burn enough coal on our own to cause our own problems. Our lakes suffer, and our children have tremendous amounts of asthma, etc.
I'm concerned that these older plants you talked about may be around for quite a while. They're expensive to retrofit, so they'll continue on their present course if nothing changes. My concern is what Canada's reaction will be. Having the new ones 10 or 15 years from now sounds great, but we have to deal with the now. What would you suggest to deal with the now? What do we tell our constituents about what's happening with their environment in this regard, if the older plants are allowed to continue? As well, if any new plants are built within, say, the next two years, as you said, they're not going to have the technology of 10 years down the road.
