It makes sense, until the retrofit costs kick in...and what happens when NG prices rise? Would we tolerate an equal rise in our electricity costs?

It'd be a great way to get GHG emissions down though...coal fired electricity plants produce about as much Co2 in Alberta as the Oil Sands...doesn't get much press though
