环境团体质疑萨斯喀彻温2030年延长煤炭发电计划, 引述法律和气候关切。 Environmental groups challenge Saskatchewan’s plan to extend coal power past 2030, citing legal and climate concerns.

2025年11月10日, 萨斯喀彻温环境学会与市民及气候正义沙斯卡通(Sanskatoon)一同出庭, 初步审理对该省将燃煤发电厂业务延长至2030年以后的计划提出的司法质疑。 The Saskatchewan Environmental Society, joined by citizens and Climate Justice Saskatoon, will appear in court on November 10, 2025, for a preliminary hearing on a legal challenge against the province’s plan to extend coal-fired power plant operations beyond 2030. 该团体认为,这一举动违反了要求该年度淘汰煤炭的联邦法律,并破坏了气候目标,认为煤炭是温室气体排放的主要来源。 The group argues the move violates federal law requiring coal phase-out by that year and undermines climate goals, citing coal as a major source of greenhouse gas emissions. 虽然先前就新天然气厂提起的诉讼因缺乏宪法依据而被驳回,但SES认为煤炭案在法律上是独立的,可以继续审理。 While a prior lawsuit over new gas plants was dismissed due to lack of constitutional basis, SES maintains the coal case is legally distinct and could proceed. 它们还质疑用核电取代煤炭的可行性,理由是成本和风险高。 They also question the feasibility of replacing coal with nuclear power, citing high costs and risks. 法院关于是否允许案件向前推进的决定将决定下一步步骤。 The court’s decision on whether to allow the case to move forward will determine next steps.
