They missed the EV push in the 90' by GM, in the 2010' by Tesla and now once again. They would never change without market pressure.

That's how Gentilly-2 got shut down by PQ. How a few windmill project with assured returns were awarded to the Liberal main lobbying group Power Corp. Or how lately the CAQ is forcing law to bypass environmental review for new windmills project awarded to their donators while removing R&D.

All while continuing to restrict maintenance budget and removing burying lines budget in the late 80's.

They will however pay for it when its a transmission line in the US.

Jokes on them, I never posted anything.

Would the military air traffic controllers be paid during a shut down?
