  1. It’s a two-fer: when the grid is down, people will freeze to death in their homes, and they can’t even escape with a dead EV. Carbon dioxide emissions: reduced!

  3. Libtards dying of the cold, in the dark. Is there a Webcam I can watch the stellar ending of these stupid people?

    1. Like Patton said … to paraphrase … our job is to make the other sad son of a bitch die for his cause. So go ahead Net Zero nincompoops … DIE!!! in the freezing cold darkness of your moronic ideals.

      PS … they’ll die much sooner than when we “wreck the planet with fossil fuels”. So there’s that too.

  4. Voting Lieberal proves: 1) You support retards 2) You are a retard 3) You cannot connect the dots as to why you are freezing 4) Because you are retarded.

    Same for Dipper and probably CPC too.

    1. ‘Connect the dots’?
      ‘Cause and effect’?
      What is this strange and frightening wizardry you speak of?

  5. Watching a Liberal suffer and die horribly, hopefully with sound. It could replace A Wonderful Life” as the best Christmas movie of all time.

  7. Then the weather guy comes on trying to explain that winter in the Yukon is cold. That can’t be right. That goes against a consensus or something. Our solar panels running at around a 5% capacity factor will save us…….Carney said so……flatline—————–

  10. “Renewables” never run at capacity for any discernible period, in fact far below rated capacity.
    Another nail in the coffin of these currently useless technologies that cannot provide consistent power.

    After the Wall fell, the communists found another way to try to destroy capitalism (their term not mine); the environment, with climate change as their weapon, who now negligently destroy productivity with $trillions wasted.

    1. It’s a neighborly offer. Once the Libs tap turns off, they will come around.
      The worst they could do is say Non!

    2. The suburb was built with the #Libranos ruling pure idiocy for them, roughly over the past decade … The Yukon Party is the provincial Conservative Party there.
      In the most recent Yukon election, they voted Yukon Party 14 seats, NDP 6 seats, #Libranos 1 seat.
      Note the Yukon Party took just under 52% … which is a clear victory. I didn’t look at any recent NWT elections but the Yukon seems to have had enough and I hope it lasts. Perhaps the Yukon Party will mention who decreed this suburb will have electric heat only.
      It’s -33 in Whitehorse at the moment, though it’s going to warm up to -29 by dinnertime today. I think it’d be a great place to spend a year, even through winter. I went to trade school with a couple of guys from Whitehorse as SAIT in Calgary reserves spaces for them each year so Yukon doesn’t have to build their own trade school. They wouldn’t live anywhere else.

      1. As if to say, “well it’s -44C right now now but the high is going to be almost -40C”
        I don’t know of anyone who can feel the difference, but that’s real close to propane staying as a liquid, so you’ll have to pee on the tank to warm it up enough that it flows into whichever propane appliance you have. Also, “good luck” …
        I never use a “wind chill” to make it seem like it’s colder than it actually is. If you’re walking it may be helpful to know your heat loss, if you’re driving it won’t matter too much.

  12. Electric heaters need many kilowatts. A hair dryer on high uses 1,500W so if you have a hardware store 5,000 watt generator it will only delay the pipes bursting in your house. You need a 20kw generator, minimum, which will cost you north of $10,000.
    I bought my first house the summer before the ice storm. It was portable generators that kept my community functioning for 8 days, they powered the gas pumps and cash registers so people could buy gas for their generators at home.

  13. Thank goodness the Yukon Librano government was wiped out. Too bad the stench and damage of that government remain. May god have mercy on Whitehorse.

    1. People must be grifting to set those idiotic policies in place.
      Or are they that stupid?

      Well they did vote Liberal……

  14. Parents bought a house in a small town outside of Toronto in 1967. All electric heat, all individual thermostats, they never went above 65 F. That’s user error not delivery method failure, but there were no grid problems back then. All I can say is flannel pajamas and sheets.

    1. Electric heat done that way has to be used properly.
      You don’t set everything the same.
      Higher temps at tops of stairs to prevent drafts coming down the stairs and at bigger windows
      Lower elsewhere.

  16. The Yukon government offers discounts of up to $24K for using heat pumps. It sounds like a lot of developers took the option. However, they didn’t provide for a backup heating system.

    1. A backup source is required in Manitoba.
      Heat pumps just don’t work at -20C
      Could be just electric baseboards.
