(CP file photo) Premier Andrew Furey says having two world leaders come to the province is “absolutely brilliant”, noting the visit speaks to how exciting things are here right now. Furey states that the two leaders are aware of the unique opportunity the province has in relation to wind and hydrogen, noting that we have the resources, a workforce used in a marine climate and proximity to Europe. He says Germans are trying to move away from traditional oil products, and while that’s a transition that will happen over several decades, it’s exciting that Newfoundland and Labrador is at the “edge” of it.
