Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall is displeased with Ottawa's announcement about phasing out coal-fired electricity generation by 2030. On Monday, Federal Environment Minister Catherine McKenna announced the accelerated phase-out of coal power in Saskatchewan, Alberta, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. (SaskPower)McKenna said Saskatchewan would get credit for carbon capture and sequestration programs like the one SaskPower is doing at its Boundary Dam Power Station. Carbon sequestration and storage has been a cornerstone of Saskatchewan's program to fight climate change. Wall says the federal plan to put a price on carbon will hurt the economy at a time when the resource sector is struggling.
