As a Town Councillor for the Town of Swan Hills, I eagerly await further development of this project. The employment opportunities for our municipality will be very welcome.

As a private citizen of Alberta, I am excited to see such an innovative project proposal for a clean energy power generation project that includes carbon capture considerations as an integral aspect of the proposed facility and its operation.

After reading through the Initial Project Description, it appears that the potential impacts of the proposed Black Bear Power Plant Project will be very similar to (and possibly even less than) already existing industrial plants and oil and gas operations operating in this region.

I welcome this innovative clean energy addition to Alberta's power production capacity and it's potential socioeconomic benefits to the entire region.
