Here are the second reading speeches on the Saskatchewan bill which basically tells the federal government to F off on the carbon tax for home heating, for natural gas via SaskEnergy. There’s a speech from the government, and NDP opposition.

As expected, the NDP manage to miss the point entirely.
“…should be used by providing relief to Saskatchewan people on their power bills by building more renewable power generation and promoting energy efficiency retrofits for households and business.”
Since renewable power generation has increased electricity costs to all consumers everywhere it’s been introduced, the Dippers continue to display complete ignorance of all energy-related issues. It’s remarkable how a party so hostile to the needs of Saskatchewan has any voters in the province whatsoever.

You have to keep in mind that half of all people are below average intelligence, and they all reliably vote Lib/NDP.
And half of them are even dumber than that.
NDP & Renewable Power.
Blatant Morons parroting the BS that Said renewables power is the way of the future….uhuh. Why anyone with a smidgeon of intelligence would vote for these Filthy Communists is beyond me.
The answer is the witless belief that if the fuel is free the total cost must be low. But this is also from the Dippers. They believe that more government intervention is always an absolute good. More RE = more government support required to accommodate it = more people voting for more big government.
You call them morons, and in an absolute sense you are right and I agree with you. But from the narrow perspective of the Dippers party, it’s actually tactically clever to entice low educated voters. Here in Ontario we have the same thing with the absurdly named Ontario Clean Air Alliance. OCAA has only one policy: force the shutdown of all Ontario nuclear power plants. It’s a lobby organization vigorously supported by the Libs, Dips and Greens. It doesn’t matter that its policy recommendations would mean ruin for most of the working people in Ontario.
The NDP still can not understand that baseload power can only be replaced with baseload power. Wind and solar, even with the always promised battery backup, can not be baseload power. There also must be enough baseload power to provide 24/7/365 coverage, which includes baseload, reliable peaking and emergency power plants and reliable imports. Solar and wind are simply incapable of providing any on-demand reliability guarantees.
The Sask NDP are either stubborn or obtuse if they still can’t grasp these simple concepts.
There is no such animal as renewable energy. It has to be created from scratch every minute of every day. Wind turbines and solar panels are not renewable without coal, oil and gas. Prove me wrong. Hell I like that saying.
Hydro power is renewable, in fact, it’s driven by the water cycle, ie its solar energy.
Try harnessing it without manufacturing the machinery to do so. Without repairing the machinery to generate the power. Coal, oil and gas are required. There is more than one thing happening. Do you understand? It is not renewable in the sense that people are stating. It cannot function on its own running downstream.
