So B.C. and Manitoba are now easterners. Even when you look at it most of Alberta energy is hydro, as in coal fired thermal plants.

In these thermal power generating stations, coal is burned to heat water in a boiler and converted to high-pressure steam. The high-pressure steam is directed into a steam turbine which turns the turbine shaft. This shaft is connected to an electrical generator which produces electricity.
