One ton of coal has 20 to 30 million btu. That's equivalent to 144 to 217 gallon of oil. Plenty of coal burned here at the steel plants in Hamilton and Sue Ste Marie. Sudbury was a desolate place because they used to open air smelt nickle,copper, gold, platnuim, etc. Acres would be covered with ore then piled high with timber cut from the surrounding forest. The entire mess was set ablaze burning for weeks. The sulfur dioxide fumes from the ore killed every living plant downwind 10-20 miles away. This stupidity went on until the mid 1960's. Now the smelters used tall stacks with scrubbers. There used to be Lakeview, an 8X450MW coal plant on the south west corner of Toronto. Boaters and pilots used the stacks called the "Four Sisters" to navigate until the stacks were blown last year. Windsor had I think a 2X500MW coal plant. Both plats have been replaced with gas turbine "peaking plants". Nanicoke on Lake Erie has 8X540MW coal. Sarnia has the 4X540 MW coal Lampton plant between lake Huron and Lake Sinclair. There's a 200MW coal plant near Thunderbay. On any given day if it hasn't been a dry year or the rivers froze. The bulk of the power is nuclear, hydro electric, wind if available plus coal and/or gas peaking plants. Lots of coal burned in Ontario, provinces east of Quebec except in PEI and much burned in the prairie provinces. The small scale consumer market is tough to come by. Everybody want touch button convenience with zero technical skills.

Today's Featured Article - Field Modifications (Sins of the Farmer) - by Staff. Picture a new Chevrolet driving down the street without it's grill, right fender and trunk lid. Imagine a crude hole made in the hood to accommodate a new taller air cleaner, the fender wells cut away to make way for larger tires, and half of a sliding glass door used to replace the windshield. Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a
