From a release<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n HALIFAX:<\/strong> The future of the Atlantic Loop project remains in question under the Houston government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Premier Tim Houston has said that getting off coal by 2030 is still \u201cattainable\u201d if his government moves fast on getting the project off the ground, but his minister responsible for the file is showing less urgency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Natural Resources and Renewables Minister Tory Rushton confirmed to reporters last week that their government still hasn\u2019t submitted a formal request to their federal counterparts on the loop \u2013 and doesn\u2019t want to \u201cpresuppose\u201d that they\u2019re even going to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis government has now gone from assuring Nova Scotians that the Atlantic Loop is their Plan A, to stepping back from even committing to a case plan,\u201d says Natural Resources and Renewables critic Carman Kerr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe\u2019re closing in on a year of this government being in power and people have been left with more questions than answers on this project\u2019s status.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”31″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate group=”7″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n With no plan and no funding for the loop, the road map to a greener, more affordable province is being derailed under the Houston government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe importance of the Atlantic Loop cannot be overstated. Getting off coal by 2030 and keeping power rates affordable for people is contingent on this project being up and running. Where\u2019s the plan?\u201d says Kerr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”34″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”92″]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [adrotate banner=”93″] [adrotate banner=”105″] From a release HALIFAX: The future of the Atlantic Loop project remains in question under the Houston government.
