What's happening in Alberta is we have an appetite for oil and gas, and we have oil and gas there, so that appetite is amazing. But our conventional oil is pretty much used up, or the idea of finding more of it in our area, so they're going to the oil sands because it's there. They know it's there. There's no finding cost, it's just getting the product out of the ground. So we have to have a stable energy cost in order to get that fossil fuel out of the ground. Right now, with using natural gas, not only having the CO2 liability that coal has but also the fluctuation in prices, that's why nuclear power makes sense. It also, as you say, diversifies our economy, and it brings in a cleaner form of energy in order to produce that fossil fuel.
