Chuck, true cost renewables

We need to subsidize new installations to increase demand.
Our country was developed on that policy. Now we're going backwards in high gear.

Instead, we subsidize frivolous Virtue signaling projects such as Chucks solar panels. Which in turn causes massive infrastructure and operating costs to the utilities, Which they then pass on to the end users, making Projects such as the three-phase installation listed above cost prohibitive, Not to mention the ongoing rate increases.

Please chuck send a picture of your solar panels so I can confirm your not full of shit and the fans running and your off the grid .

I might be able to stop by there and see for myself.... I’m curious lol

cc. is legit. So are his family solar panels. I think they used up his Jan-Feb power generation just turning on the fan to his 24% moisture wheat. lol

I say thank you to the oil industry for the three phase infrastructure of our area.

If you keep your eyes open before k-line strips the transformer for SP's use somewhere else, you can tell Sask Power that you will take over the oilfield meter at farm monthly rates for a bin yard, and save yourself tens of thousands to redevelop 30 minutes of salvage destruction.

Now that is a positive reason for saying oil is not all bad.

Numerous neighbors are using propane for drying and propane/diesel for electrical supply. Access to cheaper and eco friendly cost prohibitive.
This is where the rubber hits the road.
It's like paying $5/l for gas so electric cars can be driven by %5 of the population.
Completely stifling.

Natural demand for R&D has been replaced by whimsy.
Giving your sovereignty away really.

Youre driving right by lol

Pictures please...

You see guys .... strip mining and leveling mountain is ok though for rare earth minerals needed for solar panels.... it’s all optics and following the money as many have said here before.... SFA to do with the environment or climate

Silicon is used for PV, not exactly rare earth. 1/4 of the earths crust is silicon and found in most minerals.

The best use of solar power right now is to displace gasoline burned in a car.
Soon it will be used to displace gasoline/diesel burned in a pickup truck.
Later it will be used to displace diesel in a highway tractor.
