    So since wind and solar don't work in Alberta why do energy companies keep installing both?

    Obviously you guys know more than the AESO does. LOL

        All part of the RESET, change for sake of change, to benefit $$$ the very rich building/investing in this green SH*T! Someone said staying the same is going backwards? THEY keep repeating the LIE and LOUDER like CC. It ain't BROKE but THEY are going to fix it!

          So Kenney must be in favour of renewable electrcity and phasing out coal for electricity?

          But Alberta's electrical system has been privatized and deregulated and most of the payers are public or private corporations.

              By this logic, Crystal Meth is obviously very good stuff, after all, people make it, people sell it, people consume it. Gambling is a very profitable activity, why else would all these people go to Casino's and play on the VLT's. Smoking is good for you, must be, companies sell it, and people consume it. If I start a company selling buggy whips, that would automatically mean that there is a demand, and it is profitable. etc.

              An even better example though, is food production ( and nearly every other consumer good) before during and after the Soviet Union. The country went from self sufficiency, to mandated production which led to mass starvation, and eventually to huge imports, then with the end of prodution mandates, back to huge surpluses. Just because bureaucrats wave their magic wand and say this must be so, doesn't make it economical, or viable.

                What does replacing coal with natural gas have to do with renewable?

                  A5 nobody listens to crackpot arguments like your previous post on crystal meth! LOL

                  Since Alberta already has a lot of renewables and is planning more under the AESO, who seems to be okay with the plans, it obvious you have lost the argument that intermittent renewables don't work.

                  And Kenney's government is going along with it all.

                    50 % less carbon dioxide emissions. Gas is more flexible when using intermittent renewables. Same thing is happening in Saskatchewan. Without CCS coal is gone.

                      Your right.

                      Nobody listens.

                      Government will look after us.
