letter to editor

Dear Sir,

Twenty years from now the few jobs created by expanding Quinsam Coal will be long-forgotten. If there are any jobs on that site then, they will be for remediation, and paid for by taxpayers.

Rising ocean levels, caused largely by coal-fired plants, will obsess planners in Richmond, Delta, and low-lying parts of Vancouver.

The famous pink run on the Quinsam River will be a nostalgic memory.

And I'll be one of those annoying old farts who writes letters to the Editor saying, "I told you so!"
