Abstract
The 1973 decision to base Alberta's electrical generation on sub-bituminous coal has provided a balance between economic, environmental and social goals in the province. Presently six strip mines produce more than 22 million tonnes of low-sulphur coal for 6 thermal stations that generate 90% of the province's electricity needs. Alberta has relatively low-cost power, high coal-related job creation and an industry meeting the goals of sustainable development.
