We’ll triple the price, that’ll make it more affordable

1. I always laugh when I see these green freaks telling us how “cheap” wind and solar are….yet wherever they are installed the price of power soars. Shut these fraud artists down.

   1. Solar is cheap, as long as you don’t consider the extra equipment required, the land required, the storage required, the back up power required, the consultant’s fees, the crony capitalization fees, or the added instability in the grid.

      1. Solar is not cheap simply BECAUSE of all those costs.

2. It should be more than obvious by now that wind/solar advocates are members of a religious cult. And a particularly evil cult at that. The purpose of wind/solar is not to produce affordable electricity but to limit its availability to most of the population. That way, like historical times before the 19th century, the benefits of technology can be preserved only for the wealthy aristocrats who form the governing class.

   1. Ignoring that none of the green farce could exist without coal, oil and gas seems to escape “them”.

3. And why stop at $3000? Why not $5000? $10000? If we’re going to be ridiculous, let’s be ludicrous! Ludicrous speed (price)!
   (They’ve gone to plaid!)

4. Re: Lower oil prices/deficit. “Sounds like a great time to start cutting wasteful government spending.” said no Canadian “conservative” ever.

   Why is it so hard for cuckservatives to cut jobs of people that loathe them? Instead they’ll run deficits and jack up taxes of their base.

   1. Agree, why aren’t fuel prices in Alberta the lowest in Canada?
      Insane prov govt spending? On healthcare, regulations, laws, transfer pmts.
      If AB cut all taxes on fuel what would happen? The boogyman Feds get the blame!
      Crazy how that works. Right?

5. Tripling the price? Digging back into Marketing 307 of 50 plus years ago. They are using “Prestige Pricing.” We feel way more satisfied spending three times the cash on electricity. We will being bragging about who has the highest electrical bill. It’s all about satisfaction, isn’t it? Works with women’s purses and watches.

6. Green is great.. Until you are expected to pay full price.. Simple as that..

7. I never really understood the buzzword of “gaslighting” until very recently. But telling people their power will be more affordable while tripling the maximum price sure sounds like gaslighting to me.

   1. It sounds like “they” really know who the stupid people are.

8. In celebration of the weak Trudeau dollar … I just donated $133.34 CAD to SDA. That’s 100 of my BEEEG American Dollars … spoken in the accents of two wild and crazy guys. That’s PayPal’s exchange rate.

   1. It was a 1.427 to buy U S currency here yesterday.

      1. Ouch! Your PM and the deep liberal affliction is killing Canada.

9. Brian, I understand you’ve got to pay the bills, but those f’ing autoplay vids in your articles have just f0rced a cease & desist on any of your links in the future for me. I opened 3 of the links above at the same time & froze up my computer.

   1. I will send your note to my web guy. I’ve never heard that before. I often have a dozen tabs open with those ads running with no issue, and that’s on a 12 year old computer. What browser/operating system are you using? Has it happened before? Did you have any other apps running? Did you have 10, 20 or more tabs open? That would be helpful for me to pass onto my web guy.
      However, until you start sending me at minimum $10,000 per month, without fail, with an escalator to $15000 a month by this time next year, and I’ll get rid of the ads. Content is not free. And specialized, hard researched content certainly is not free.

      1. Mac Pro 5,1, Quad core 3.2 GHz (2011), 24 GB RAM, OS 10.6.8, Firefox 48.0.2, 2 windows & 9 tabs open.

         The browser froze for nearly two minutes while the vids loaded and after they loaded, performance was nearly non-existent. Nothing new, I always had performance issues with only one of your links open, 3 merely exacerbated the issue.

         And no, due to legacy software issues, I’m not interested in updating the OS & can’t upgrade FF.

         Thx.
