In August, Steven Guilbeault released the draft Clean Electricity Regulations which mean to remake our entire country in just 11 years.
On Nov. 2, Saskatchewan told them where to go. Today, they said publicly how to get there.
Three stories:
‘It just isn’t possible’ – SaskPower Minister in-depth response to Clean Electricity Regulations.
SaskPower response to the Clean Electricity Regulations: ‘Not possible from technological, financial and logistical perspectives‘
Saskatchewan response to the Clean Electricity Regulations: Unaffordable, unconstitutional and unobtainable.
I’m afraid that Manitoba, with our newly minted socialist aboriginal former-criminal Premier Incompetent, will enact even more climate idiocy.
I understand Manitoba Hydro is going to be renamed “Kinewtic Energy”.
Governments/political parties in Canada have to stop the nonsense of net zero by 2050. Net zero will be impossible to achieve and is simply an asinine aspirational goal. And for what? Why pander to the eco-zealots who haven’t a clue?
Don’t worry everyone, through fanatical government planning of the feds, we will have net-zero income by 2030, to satisfy the genocidal green lunatics who think that the population of the world should be 500 million or less.
In the linked article, Duncan expects the federal government to contribute 75% to the first smr build because the Trudeau government is the one demanding the clean energy baseload power change. I disagree, I think the Trudeau liberal-NDP government should pay 100% for all of it because they want the baseload power change to clean energy. If Trudeau and Guilbeault can commit 50 billion to multibillion dollar private corporations for EV plants (who will employ foreign workers) then they can commit to paying for nuclear power plants too. Streamline the nuclear power approval process as well.
You seem to have lost sight of the fact that “they” don’t actually ever pay for anything. They finance their wild imaginings by taxing we, the plebes, into poverty and saddling future generations with their debt. And don’t get me going on taxes on taxes on taxes!
No, I agree. I’m just saying Saskatchewan should not have to foot the bill for decisions made by the climate zealots in Ottawa. If the Trudeau Liberal-NDP government doesn’t want to pay then they have the option of leaving provinces alone to set their own energy path. In Canada, Ottawa has gotten too comfortable interfering in provincial jurisdiction with insane climate edicts.
If we are required to give up hydrocarbon power generation, the cost of switching to nuclear should be subtracted from equalization payments.
LC, does it matter which level of government pays? There is only one taxpayer, despite three levels of government. How they carve me up is not my concern.
The denominator is the difference. 10 people paying for a $100 meal is $10 per person. 2 people paying for a $100 meal is $50 per person.
Personally I think moving away from coal is good but if the federal government wants new baseload power generation built and existing baseload generation shut down then they should put their money where their mouth is…
Personally I think moving away from coal is good…
Why?
Exactly.
Because it really is bad for the environment generally. Keep in mind that much of the green energy activism has the same goal as the BLM activism: drive the two sides into mutually hostile camps where neither side can/will admit that there are bad actors on their own side.
Clean coal technology is more than adequate to meet any sensible environmental protection scheme (i.e. “let’s not pump a ton of sulfur combustion byproducts into the atmosphere”), but the extraction of coal tends to be extremely destructive as well due to coal’s relatively low energy density. The supply chain for coal-fired power generation is similarly inefficient.
Safe nuclear is the way power generation should have gone since the 1980s. To paraphrase the late Kathy Shaidle, more people died in Ira Einhorn’s apartment than in the Fukushima reactor disaster. Canada has abundant uranium deposits, and you need very little fissile material to produce staggering amouts of power. We’d have functioning failsafe small reactors sited near to major baseload consumers by now had Western governments not been riddled with Soviet moles in the 1980s pushing the anti-nuke propaganda.
Sanity in Saskatchewan. Eventually … they will be acknowledged as being on the RIGHT side of History
All environmental targets are reachable if you’re willing to get rid of enough people.
That’s their unspoken truth/goal. Too many still can’t look beyond trees (gas stoves, ev’s, carbon tax, etc.) and see the forest (depopulation). Their cult/religion ultimately demands human sacrifice.
20 years of being told I was killing Mother Gaia just by existing talked me out of the death shots real fast…..
But that will break the liberal ponzi scheme of continual financial growth
Global warming is much like the emperor’s new clothes. No one is allowed to question the idiotic junk-science, but only to poke around the edges of the issue.
The issue isn’t the expense, or the risk, or the timeframe.
The issue is that the entire thing is 100% anti-scientific BULLSHIT, and created by and propagates by liars who know it is bullshit.
The ONLY real discussion should be how to gather all the POSs behind this scam, and how many they can fit into a kiln at a time.
He forgot, “unnecessary”.
The elephant in the room is that these CUCKservatives are still trying fix a problem that does not exist, instead of calling bullshit bullshit.
What Guilbeault states about anything doesn’t matter. He along with the rest of the Lib-Dip alliance will be out of office in less than two years.
Guilbeault is a terrorist. End of story.
Masters of the Obvious, Episode 2,139.
The goals actually can be achieved; that just requires the death of everyone living in Saskatchewan.
