    You know how Chuck keeps telling us to take our complaints to the various electricity authorities and regulators and producers because they obviously know what they are doing and wouldn't be destroying the reliable fossil fuel powered grid to replace it with something that doesn't work.
    Well, as it turns out, the US Senate did ask, and yes they would. FERC, is warning them about the catastrophic consequences to the reliability of the grid.

    But what would the Federal energy regulator commission possibly know about the reliability of electrical grids. Obviously Chuck is much smarter than them, and has far more experience.

      Chuck, here is your chance to turn over a new leaf. Someone has done exactly what you keep asking for, and asked the questions of the relevant authorities. Do you care to comment?

        So is Alberta's AESO saying that grid stability in Alberta is at risk because of all the renewables?

        Alberta is leading Canada in installing a lot of renewables.

        Saskatchewan is also installing significant renewable capacity.

        So if it is a big risk why are the authorities and utilities letting it happen?

            No. Does it apply to Alberta with their specific situation?

              The commission literally debunked your call to authority argument.
              They are the authority.

                Do you think that there is something really unique about Alberta's climate, geography, latitude, peak demand, etc?
                Something that would make Alberta immune to the catastrophic failures that are being forecast, and already taking place in warm sunny places without winter whose peak demand is air conditioning season such as Texas and california?
                Or should we repeat the experiment here where we get winter, and peak demand coincides with peak darkness, and the wind stops blowing for days at a time during the coldest weather?

                  And in the spirit of being polite and respectful, I appreciate your honesty and actually admitting that you do not actually read the article before discounting it.
                  How is seeding going?

                    Maybe when you come on in the morning you can respectfully explain how this data works in with the transition to much more expensive and much quicker obsolescence of EV's.
                    Average age 12.5 yrs.
                    How long do batteries last?
                    5yr max warranty?

                    "According to data collected by S&P Global Mobility, the average age of passenger vehicles on the road has reached a record high of 12.5 years. This trend, which began in 2017, has accelerated in a post-Covid world as new car prices soared due to shortages, and more recently, borrowing costs have skyrocketed, causing an affordability crisis. However, this trend might also suggest automobile manufacturers are producing higher-quality vehicles that break down less often."

                    "This is the sixth straight year of increase in the average vehicle age of the US fleet. It also reflects the highest yearly increase since the 2008-2009 recession, which caused an acceleration in average age beyond its traditional rate due to the sharp decline in new-vehicle sales demand," S&P Global Mobility pointed out.

                    Does this mean only a small percentage of the population will be able to afford automobiles and the rest will ride public transit with the meth-heads?

                      Academic Vegetation…. Creating a huge fire load…. When this energy disaster being planned kills 100’s of Millions….of humanity…. From what ever catastrophic collapse this folly creates….

                      The WEF, UN, Chinese, Club of Rome, BLM…. Etc….

                      Will smirk and lie like Trudeau, Biden, Carl Schwab’s anarchism that is deceiving humanity in to embracing as the intelligent solution .

                      Evolution, no spiritual life…. The existential threat of global warming…. All deceptive distractions…. Just like Covid.

                      Blessings and Prayers…
