Sukunka coal exports and conversion to synthetic fuels debate
Frank Oberle M.P addresses northeastern British Columbia coal debates. He urges cautious support for export to Japan, warns against blank subsidies, notes potential federal subsidies of freight rates totaling about 400 million plus rail and terminal costs, and advocates coal conversion with synthetic fuel production to reduce oil imports and create jobs at Sukunka. He cites University of British Columbia gasification work using Sukunka coal and urges government action to pursue demonstrations and subsidies at reasonable levels.
