Transcanada Ceo Urging More Hydroelectric Power

摘要

It's time for the Alberta government to dust off the idea of hydroelectric development on the Slave and Athabasca rivers of northeastern Alberta, says the chief executive officer of TransCanada Corporation.rn"These projects were examined in detail in the early 1980s and were rejected because coal-fired power was seen as a better bet," Hal Kvisle, said in an interview. "At the time it was the right decision but in a carbon-constrained world those river hydro projects might be worth looking at."rnTransCanada, which in the past decade has broadened its base into electric power generation as well as its pipeline operations, sees three other potential sources of large-scale power in Alberta in the years ahead - coal, nuclear and natural gas.
