Financially good for Teck and right now! Very bad for Trail in the long term. Cheap power has always been the saving grace for Teck's zinc production at Trail Operations. When that's no longer true, the inland smelter at Trail won't have a chance against tide-water smelters in other parts of the world. Good bye to West Kootenay jobs.
