      <![CDATA[As a tiny little province, with a very limited ability to absorb cost increases, we could safely use coal to produce electricity for some time to come. Currently 2/3 of power in the USA is produced with coal and there is a reason for that - it is cheap.

      <![CDATA[When NSP was owned by the govt it was loaded with unnecessary employees, had a hugely bureaucratic mindset, and was run extremely inefficiently. A large part of the provincial debt comes from politicization of the decisions around power rates - when an election was near, the govt would order NSP not to touch rates even if an increase was needed, and so the money needed to keep them solvent came out of taxpayer pockets and went on the debt.

      <![CDATA[NSP follows a set process before turning off the power. I believe the process was established over 20 years ago and approved by the UARB.
