The Conservation Council is casting a skeptical eye on word the provincial government is looking at converting Coleson Cove so it will be able to burn natural gas. David Thompson of the Conservation Council tells CHSJ News he finds it odd since the plant hasn't been used that much even with Point Lepreau being out of service.
Thompson warns if your burn natural gas without using a gas turbine, too much of it is wasted.
The Alward Government finds itself in the middle of controversy over its desire to extract natural gas from the ground through fracking which creates fissures in the shale after water, chemicals and sand are pumped underground.
