Canada has vast hydroelectric resources and is one of the world’s top producers of hydro power. In 2013, the most recent year for which global production data is available, the International Energy Agency ranked Canada second in the world in hydroelectric generation, behind only China. For net installed capacity, Canada ranked fourth behind China, the United States, and Brazil.Footnote 1 Hydro accounts for about 60 per cent of Canada’s total generation, and only Norway, Brazil, and Venezuela have a higher share of hydro in their electricity mix.

Then why is the carbon tax going up? Why do we have to do more faster? Seems like skippy could have put up a lot more windmills faster than Moe could and yet he didn't.Originally posted by chuckChuck View PostHe doesn't have to Sask Power is busy installing cleaner capacity and reducing emissions on its own.

That's nice but there will never be another hydro dam built in this country.

Mass wind and solar? Nuclear? Only the praires are suited to that and there are no transmission lines to Toronto or Vancouver to take the power. Cue the protesters.

Sorry for allowing Chuck to get me distracted off topic as well, Except that this claim of reduced emissions is fake news too, which seems to be the common theme of this thread:Originally posted by chuckChuck View PostHe doesn't have to Sask Power is busy installing cleaner capacity and reducing emissions on its own.

“(The) Prairie Resilience Plan will not impact SaskPower’s plans to grow its generation capacity,†said a statement from spokesman Jordan Jackle.
"SaskPower’s projections show emissions dropping to below 10 million tonnes of carbon dioxide by 2030, due to an increased reliance on renewable energy sources, a reduction in electrical generation emissions and federally imposed methane regulations. "

Projections, future tense. You indicated present tense in your previous post. All of your arguments seem to involve future projections, and usually also require technologies or taxes or regulations that do not yet exist.Originally posted by chuckChuck View Post“(The) Prairie Resilience Plan will not impact SaskPower’s plans to grow its generation capacity,†said a statement from spokesman Jordan Jackle.

You posted the Leader post article to make your point. Now you don't like Sask Powers projections for lower emissions based on more renewables? hahaha. You will never be satisfied!

Yes, you are right again, I will never be satisfied when you use future projections to attempt to disprove a present day trend or event.

Most of that graph of future emissions is the maritime GDP and economy going to zero, future depression in Ontario and Quebec hiding economic development while sucking in equalization. NB relying on subsidized hydro. BC reliant on Chinese money.Originally posted by AlbertaFarmer5 View Post[ATTACH]5393[/ATTACH]
In fact the entire east is planning to be dependent on carbon tax and equalization from the west while they let their economies slide.
Actually now I agree its a climate emergency. Its a race for the west to defend its economy before virtue signalling Marxists can suck it dry.
