I don't think you're considering the full picture.

If a new technology came along that made things much, much cheaper, it wouldn't do a thing for all the existing extraction in the province. Those facilities are already built and in operation.
The only way costs could suddenly drop is if wages began to be drastically reduced. At that point, things would already be dire in the province
I don't think you understand the full picture. Your naive ideologies have no place here.
