Electricity alert Alberta

[burnt]

Just watch what happens when legislation shuts down the fossil fueled power plants. Coal in Alberta in just 2 years, 7 years ahead of the mandate, maybe a test??? They better have their ducks in a row if they are struggling to keep up now.

You seem to be under the assumption that the forces behind this ff shutdown actually care, or intend, to keep the lights on?

What about the added burden for charging electric vehicles as we see more of them around. I hope the gov’t is listening to the proper experts because if the system is maxed now there isn’t a lot of extra supply to go around.

The baby boomers in north america grew up in times of plenty relatively speaking. Energy was cheap and wasting it was a way of life. Still is for a lot of people.

We never experienced the great depression or the dirty thirties.

The lessons to conserve and live within your means, reuse and recycle are mostly ignored.

The houses are often overly big and expensive to heat and cool and suburban hockey moms drive a $80,000 dollar gaz guzzler to pickup a drive through meal on their way to cottage where the family will enjoy a big boat and all the trimmings.

So when the shit hits the fan and our of lives of excess are suddenly pushing the limits, maybe we should be a little less greedy and remember there are a lot of people in this world who have very little, and turning down or turning off the AC is not such a hard ship.

Your little sermons do make me laugh.

Here is the massage I get from this present government. Buy an electric car, put solar panels on your roof and insulate your home if necessary and we are good.

As for the Great Depression my Dad grew up during the dirty thirties and had many stories about how difficult life was. In the early 50’s he worked with the local REA and to speed up getting electricity in our area set up a crew and built a post hole digger to install the power poles. It was interesting to hear his stories of when they first started using fertilizer which they hauled home in bags and his first field sprayer which he pulled with a Ford 9N tractor and how much fertilizer and spray improved crop yield.

Present government policies will simply make family farms obsolete and our cost of living much more expensive.

And yet ...... none of the dumb ****s can understand that
Hey I know what to do
Anyone with an electric vehicle can only charge them on solar panels or windmills
This will sure slow down traffic as well

I like that Case: everybody with an electric car must put up the solar panels or windmill to keep it charged. Vely, good idea!

In the future they will talk about the excessive indulgence of the Baby Boomers.

But this last two years is all millennial baby. More added to the Federal deficit in the last year than the rest of history.

So I think we know where the excesses occurred.
