SAHO's 'terrible' final offer

Once the conciliator was in place the unions gave SAHO a fair new offer.

SaskPower chooses SNC Lavalin-Cansolv for uncertain Boundary Dam CO2 capture project

By Bruce Johnstone, Leader-PostMarch 4, 2010


REGINA — The Boundary Dam clean-coal demonstration project took another step towards reality Wednesday when SaskPower announced SNC Lavalin-Cansolv had been chosen to provide the carbon capture technology for the $1.4-billion project.

As a result, one has produced a fuel cell that can turn natural gas or natural grass into electricity; the other has a technology that might make coal the cleanest, cheapest energy source by turning its carbon-dioxide emissions into bricks to build your next house. Though our country may be flagging, it’s because of innovators like these that you should never — ever — write us off.
