What did 1722 Alberta wind turbines have in common? 0.007 per cent output at noon on Sunday
But hey! At that very moment, at noon, solar’s output was less than 10 per cent!
The number was so low that if you enter those numbers into your Windows calculator app (0.39 megawatts / 5476 megawatts), it will give you the scientific notation of 7.121986851716581e-5.
That’s right – the percentage was in scientific notation, because normal numbers don’t go that low. And this is after many, many billions spend on wind.
I keep asking: Why are we throwing away what we know works, for what we know absolutely does not work?
Electricity is the very oxygen of our economy. When you have lots of oxygen to breathe, no problem. The very second you run out – big problem. And we are entrusting our very lives with technology that continually completely collapses in a widespread basis. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me 49 times (the number of Alberta wind farms) shame on me. And fool me 1722 times (the number of Alberta grid-scale wind turbines) … well, you get the idea.

“I keep asking: Why are we throwing away what we know works, for what we know absolutely does not work?”
Because supposed conservative politicians are scared to death of being called “denier”.
Such an easy lie to disprove, this CO2 as a thermostat for the earth – but none of them will make the effort.
Looking directly at you Ms Smith. Time for your government to start governing as per what was passed at the AGM, namely:
b. Recognize the importance of CO2 to life and Alberta’s prosperity by implementing the following measures:
i. Abandoning “Net-Zero” targets,
ii. Removing the designation of CO2 as a pollutant, and
iii. Recognize that CO2 is a foundational nutrient for all life on Earth.
No need to talk about reducing emissions – or building wind and solar farms.
And among the loudest voices calling them denier are the BS media that every sensible person knows is the BS media as well as insane swampy cultists. Ergo conversative politicians are not sensible—and are cowards.
Cowards? Then why are half the provincial premiers in Canada calling for building more nuclear power plants? This includes all the conservative ones that you deride. Are you a CINO?
Because they bent the knee to the green climate cult previously, even though saner voices already demonstrated it was a scam, and haven’t apologized for the damage their policies have done to their economies as a result.
That comes under the heading “wishful thinking”.
“Why are we throwing away what we know works, for what we know absolutely does not work?”
Because, like every government failure, the only acceptable reason to explain why it is not working is because we haven’t yet pissed away enough money on it.
And Ward (above) nails it.
the Lex Friedman interview with Argentinian President Javier Millei ought to be required viewing for every citizen of Canada. Ward’s first sentence nails Millei’s philosophy.
it was not done to save gaia. it was not done to provide low cost energy. it was done to make sure the right people got the money to implement it. the government is now picking winners and losers of the game of life and you, the taxpayers are the losers.
“Why are we throwing away what we know works, for what we know absolutely does not work?”
Because insiders make a killing every time one of those bird-choppers goes up. -Billion$- of dollars. And WE pay for it.
And the guy who’s land it is on gets stuck with it. Anybody think #PrivateWindCompany is still going to be in business when it comes time for those things to be decommissioned?
It’s the perfect business model. What’s not to like?
One thing I am discovering is that it is incredibly common that the company that develops and builds the project is NOT the one who ends up owning and operating it once it is turned on.
YES! That is the model. It is a pump and dump, Brian. They did the same thing with the weed companies. Build it up, get all your investment back at a huge profit withing the first five minutes of the thing going public by selling you stake, and walk away whistling because you stuck the retail investors with the big fat white elephant.
Windmills, weed companies, battery factories, are we seeing a pattern here? Five bucks says they start doing it with nuclear next.

“And the guy who’s land it is on gets stuck with it.”
uhuh. just ask the ‘before and after’ crowd in kathleen wynnedfarm’s ontariOWE.
l guess the avg Canaduhian REALLY IS hopelessly naive and dumb.
once every quarter the MSM will gleefully report , even if its for an hour. “Alberta achieves 100% renewables”
I have NEVER seen that happen. First, it’s impossible, as the total theoretical maximum capacity of all wind, solar and hydro is still at least 1000 megawatts short of typical Alberta internal load. Second, those renewables never, ever max out their capacity fleet-wide. Individual units absolutely do. Solar comes close, fleet-wide in summer, sometimes over 80%. But never 100. And you’d need 100 for solar, and wind, and hydro, to get anywhere near 100% renewables. You might be thinking California.
None of it is renewable without coal, oil and gas. We need to stop using the word renewable.
Informing SDA readers is nice and appreciated. The question is how can all Albertans, and maybe all of Canada, be informed?
Share the links far and wide across social media.
A famine.
I always thought a plague would do it, but we had one and they’re all still f-ing clueless.
Corporal punishment wouldn’t even get the message through to them.
Windmills are a physical blight as much as they are an economic drain, an apex bird killer and an energy producing failure.
I travelled across southern Ontario last year – saw quite a few oil pump jacks working away – and the Windmills stretched across the horizon for vast portions – an absolute disgrace.
Thank God or whomever, the fckn Feds aren’t in charge of energy production.
Imagine what Guilbeault that hirsute fcker would do if he was.
Buddy, as I have said many times, give me a call when one can be built without using, coal, oil or gas.
