During coal scare 1.0 (after Kenney, et. al. rescinded Lougheed's coal policy) my wife and I heard a man with decades of coal industry experience question whether Grassy Mountain coal was of met quality. Even if it is, the demand fro met coal may be declining by the time these mines are producing. Steel companies are already switching to production processes that don't require met coal.
We need to stop this callous plan to wreck our water towers, poison our watersheds, and perhaps worst of all....pulverize the water towers that collect and release ground water into all the streams and rivers rising on those slopes. Given rising global temperatures, the glaciers will soon be gone. All we'll have left will be our intact eastern slopes...but coal mining destroys those ecospheres and leaves mounds of crushed rubble in its wake....
Even if we could survive the selenium poisoning, our children's children will not be able to live in an Alberta with depleted and poisoned water. This is an extinction project.....imagine blasting away our eastern slopes to create low hills of crushed rock rubble and possible profits for an Australian millionaire!
we have informed MLA's, but they are bought off with Australian money. Brian Jean should resign, for lying to the people and for making a joke of the AER "dog and pony show"

Albertans need to shut these projects down.
