One of the trends in Canada is the "re-conversion" of power plants from natural gas back to coal. There's plenty of natural gas in western Canada, but it's silly to use it yourself when you have alternatives like coal and you can sell the CNG in the U.S. for so much money.

The US could do well by building and converting more power plants to coal, which we have some 100 plus years of. Never happen though due to enviro-wackos.

CNG gas exports to the US are declining, due to two factors. More demand in Canada and rapidly declining production from monster fields such as Ladyfern.
