EV back then?

Where have we heard "this will never work" before? LOL It's the mantra of Canada is a shit hole club.

Did you look in your backyard A5?

The private sector is building wind and solar facilities at a record pace in Alberta. I guess they're spending good money because the economics are bad and it doesn't work? LOL Go figure?

Ammonia and hydrogen are the next steps.

He LITERALLY JUST SAID THAT HE IS OPEN MINDED ENOUGH TO HAVE HIS MIND CHANGED. GET LOST ALREADY.

To everyone else. Stop feeding this bottom feeding troll. That’s all he is doing. Trying to get a rise, trying to annoy. How do I know that? Because literally, there is no one this dumb. At least I haven’t met anyone who is. You know, in real life.

Thanks.

I used to believe the same thing. That no one could actually be this ill informed and ignorant in real life. That this is just a show to get attention online. But I think he really is this dumb.

Well in the case of the proposed renewable storage of hydrogen and ammonia plants, the production will depend on the wind and sun resources available every day. That will be site specific.

And the customers can use the hydrogen and ammonia however they want when needed.

But your assumption that intermittent renewables can't be stored or provide usable energy for other purposes will fade away over next few years and decades.

So your defence of the productive capabilities of solar and wind is using an industrial offshore wind installation built to produce ammonia and hydrogen for export?! Hmmm, how does that work for providing our electricity needs within Canada on a daily basis?

All we have to do is build pipelines across Canada, including those remote northern settlements where Chuck insists renewable energy with storage is the answer, then send the hydrogen and ammonia through said pipelines, then build more facilities that can turn those products into useful energy. All at about 30% round trip energy efficiency at best. And that is before you put them into a pipeline and spend more energy transporting said products.
And we all know how easy it is to get approval to build new pipelines in this country. And all of the above are practically free to build.
And there are absolutely no technical issues with storing or transporting either hydrogen or ammonia.

So you cant build hydrogen and ammonia plants in Alberta or Saskatchewan? LOL

Sorry Sheep ole buddy, Chuck ain't dumb. Gratified by fanaticism perhaps. Pissing into the wind pleases him as long as we all get wet.
Know your enemy. There are more listening to the bugle than know the bugler.

I'm gonna go out on a limb.
It's possible somewhere in the next century or less, fusion will get better and better.
Making today's angst look like whale oil. The future is not in short sighted baloney for the next election win.
But a strong economy today for leading R&D in the future.
Wind and solar for small draw applications. Nuclear and hydro in the meantime. Fossilized solar energy will have to carry the world until then.
Just a thought.

The recent announcement is monumental. They had actuality had other experiments produce viable fusion reactions before but it wasn’t what they were actually experimenting for. So this announcement is findings from an experiment dedicated to fusion producing more energy than put in. It’s proof of concept and all bets are off to how much money will flow in for research and development. Still many years away but a truly new and viable energy source for the future. I wonder though where this puts future funding for solar and wind research. In a decade it won’t be cool like fusion. Does this kill nuclear or will the western world hold the cards close to their chest?
