Sask Carbon Tax

[chuckChuck]

I wonder what the long term costs of each would be if we removed all the politics?

Yes and the Sask party and their political influence over Sask power is a good example of why politics should not be part of the reform of our electrical generation system.

Without politics we may have had much more imported cheap hydro from Manitoba amd more solar and wind. Instead we are going to opt for the most expensive options of SMRs and maybe carbon capture and storage on coal.

Compared to Alberta where the deregulated system favours businesses to invest in the lowest cost options such as wind and solar, Sask Power is under pressure from big government interference and politics to choose the very political and unproven options of SMRs.

Wow are you lost.

Germany spent $500B euros to decarbonize their grid. Guess what, they reduced their dependence on FF from 86% to 79%. And that was before Ukraine. Now they are importing LNG from the US at 3 times the going rate.

So only 8 Trillion left to go to get to net zero.

Your climate toddler level math doesnt add up. And it never will.

Trump's still President right?

As usual it looks like you don't know what you are talking about. Lying is the Trump Republican way.

Renewables are the biggest source of electricity in Germany.

That’s probably why lots of their industry is shut down

Industry is looking at relocating to more favorable locations.
That's how they stay in business over the long term.
Has always happened that way. And always will.

Yes Quebec and Manitoba with their abundent cheap renewable hydro electricity is a great location for industry in a carbon emission restrained world.

And the maritime provinces with their massive wind resources are attracting investment as well from Germany.

But, but , wait now
I thought Germany had its own make believe wind power???……
