The Light of Day, indeed

Those who know me never say the words "NB Power." It leads to ranting and outrage. Well, turns out my favorite folks are on their back on best behaviour, letting petroleum coke blow in the wind outside of Saint John.

Of course, during the Environmental Impact Assessment the public was assured this wouldn't happen. To put this in perspective, petroleum coke is a by-product of oil refineries and is one of the most polluting fossil fuels available. And NB Power execs are the highest paid civil servants in our province (more than the Premier, even).

It's a good thing they know what they're doing. See-ranting, I told you. Where' s Bob Dylan when you need him?

As Dylan himself said: "you don't need petroleum coke to know which way the wind is blowing".
