Interesting. I work at a nickel refinery, that produces ammonia for the nickel refining process, and sells the excess ammonia for fertilizer. We also produce Granular fertilizer. Several years ago a company called Ferus built a CO2 liquefaction plant next door, we sell CO2 that we produce in our boilers from Natural Gas, to Ferus, and also operate the plant for them. Pretty nice deal. But the plant has not been running much for the past 9 months as the drop in oil prices has all but decimated the need for liquid CO2, which has mostly been used for fracking in southern saskatchewan.
Alberta has recently announced the phasing out of coal powered power plants. Our primary sources produce 16409 megawatts, with coal making 6299 megawatts total. Most new plants are being built as co-generation units, producing steam for a industrial site or burning industrial waste (think wood chips) to maximize efficiency. The ability to stop producing 6299MW of power by the deadline has already started causing power prices to increase, even though all the plants are still running. The war on coal is going to bankrupt many companies and lots of families, especially as the price of oil stays low.

After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
