And also NS has imposed new emissions caps on NS Power utility only. Since NS Power is a monopoly it does not affect there bottom line at all, they simply pass the costs to the customer who has no alternative but to pay. In the end it just means higher tax revenues for the provincial government, it was just a tax increase that's all.
