Happy Chuck?

Tis interesting discussion you just don’t have to have to carry on like a drongo mate.

Yeah few hoops to get through but it’s gonna be a combination of energy sources.
Like I said business is struggling with renewables.

No brainer to use renewables in many situations. Tidal power or guess it’s hydro is being talked about in another state, has the worlds biggest and most consistent tidal movements, but go figure greens are the fly in the ointment there.

Is that clear enough glen. I try to respect the site and others even when I disagree mate guess we’re cut from a different cloth. Each to there own.

I like you mate. You don’t get mad and go nuclear when our friend literally insults you and everyone else here.

Just asked a German tourist how much it cost him to ship his van to Canada. He said $3000.00.I told him he'll have to fill it with wood when he ships it back. He told me he doesn't have to, he's staying in Mexico for the next two years.

Nah not mad at all. Next time I’m in your great land will visit glen. One on here about 8 miles away from him as well, so will visit both.

Tis all good WR.

Enjoy your Saturday Arvo.

There are some really thinned skinned individuals who are easily insulted when challenged.

But you gotta love all the Albertans whining about how renewable electricity doesn't work or is too expensive in the province that is currently leading the country in building renewable capacity.

Meanwhile gas and diesel prices were super high this spring and the oil companies were raking in huge profits, but the biggest issue is electricity prices in Germany? How much do you spend on German electricity vs Canadian diesel?

Do you think the high prices for electricity in Germany have anything to do with the abrupt loss of large amounts of imports of gas from Russia? Naw that coudn't be true! LOL

What about electricity prices in Alberta's deregulated market? Its cheaper in Saskatchewan's regulated market.. And both provinces are investing in significant amounts wind and solar and interconnections with other producing regions.

In Alberta our open deregulated market transparently shows the cost of governments forcing by regulation the shuttering of coal fired electricity generation. In regulated government non transparent system like Saskatchewan how would you know the true cost of generation or the level of subsidization?

[chuckChuck]

All we know is Saskatchewan has cheaper electricity and that's good enough for most people.

And unless you work in the AESO or are an economist who specializes in analyzing the cost of electricity in each province, you won't have a clue what the system and generation cost are and what impact the changes are having.

But don't let that stop you from blaming it all on renewables!

[AlbertaFarmer5]

Chuck, you are getting close to figuring out the answer to my question.
You have correctly deduced that electricity is more expensive in Ab than in Sask.
And you have correctly noted that Ab has significant solar and wind installed.
In fact according to Canada National Energy Regulator, Ab has more than 10 times as much wind and solar.
Can you put those two facts together and come to any conclusions?

Thin skinned nah.

But every time some disagrees with Glen “shit hole club, agrisilly knuckledrsggers etc etc”

Disagree with Jazz plenty of times still mutual respect and others.

Crazy big coal mine finally got approved here on Friday 14 years of jumping through hoops yep all the coals going to India and China.

New govt bringing in raft of climate change stuff but exports coal to biggest polluters such is life we are a mineral rich export based economy.
