I spent 11 hours working on this story, which I broke into four parts. These are the first two, the next two will come out early next week.
The NDP again want to see coal-fired power go away, “as practical.” The want to convert coal plants to natural gas, even though Saskatchewan has lots of coal but not much in the way of natural gas anymore. We drilled ten gas wells over the last decade, and Alberta did that many by noon today.
There is of course the obligatory massive buildout of wind and solar, and storage. And just coincidentally, three hours after the press conference, wind output in Alberta fell to next to nothing, again.

I look forward to Alberta separation. One of the first benefits will be the expulsion of the communist NDP party, being a federal organization.
I have been thinking about the coal/natural gas thing. What we are doing is taking fuel which has infrastructure to be moved all over the province, and using it to replace a fuel which is in a fixed spot. Would it be poetic if we ran out of gas, and then everybody had to use coal for heating?
People in power who don’t understand energy should be made powerless and declared unfit for any type of public office.
I look forward to the NDP Voters freezing to death in their solar powered houses.
Or maybe some Trans Murderer will get them.
Nobody will ever benefit from Anything FILTHY COMMIES PROMOTE.
These are the heirs of Tommy Douglas, another party of Death, Tommy the scumbag who would gladly cull our weakest and most vulnerable to “follow the science.”
GOD DAMN THESE EVIL MARXISTS TO HELL
lemme guess, if, IF, the comparative reliance and delivery of the various sources of power was shown by the font size of the words wherever they are indicated, natural gas lettering would be big enough for a billboard whereas the others esp wind would be . . . would be . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .LOL
the sad thing is to see this ‘post national state’ is being run by a bunch of brainwashed teenagers(?) is comical and frightening at the same time.
Blow, subsidies blow.
How does that song go? “Blow, you old blue northern, blow that cash to me. It’s comin’ in tonight from Carney’s bankers…”
