Q: Would you consider Capital Power on a list of halo stocks and powering AI? Or was it excluded purposely? I mainly mention this because I thought previously they had been tied to natural gas powered AI data centre's in Alberta? Disclosure: I own it but am very open to upgrading to something materially better in that sector.
