## Resource

Experts are questioning if the SaskParty's claim that extending the lifespan of coal plants will actually be the best investment for the province, rather than moving towards gas plants and other renewables. Brett Dolter, a professor of economics at the University of Regina who specializes in Saskatchewan’s electricity policy, joins the show to share his thoughts and what extending the life of coal-fired power plants really means for the province and your power bills.
