If the price drops she will make up the difference with a new tax.

Prices won’t change. The big refiners will sit the new owners down and lay down the law. They either toe the line and keep prices where they’ve always been traditionally, Or the big boys will predatory price them into bankruptcy.
Refined product pricing is the most controlled and corrupt monopoly in Canada. In no other industry do you see such price fixing and supply control that we see in motor fuels. They fix pricing based on profits, not supply, demand or commodity feedstock prices. Motor fuels stay around a buck a litre (give or take a bit) regardless of the price of crude oil.
This will never be investigated by government either, because big oil has influence not only politically but economically.

You're correct that Grande Cache coal is a metallurgical coal mine for the most part. But how much steel is needed to build coal powerplants, or mine trucks to haul coal to coal power plants. The argument quickly becomes circular.
There are mines like this that produce solely thermal coal, and wind turbines can help to alleviate the need for this. 100 tons of coke to make a wind turbine results in far more energy being produced than 100 tons of coal being burnt in a thermal coal powerplant.
Anyway this is tangential to the topic at hand. So here's to optimism for lower diesel prices, all while the oil companies scheme of new reasons to explain why prices are high.

Yup blows my mind that they would wreck a perfectly good mountain like that.
That kinda **** should happen in Alberta's prairie land. Strip all the black dirt and clay back. Take out whatever you want and then put it all back and farm it. Pretty hard to reclaim a mountain.

Yeah its not a pretty site. Worst of all the company that owns it went tits up so now all the run down equipment is scattered everywhere. Probably going to be on the tax payer to clean up.

Well no other company is gonna touch it with the current government's stance on coal.
