Park the SOB in a garage full of the EV fire starters....Next Insurance be Stupid high!

Every once and a while something surprises you. I was eating breakfast, looked at what Alberta’s windmills were producing and it was “0”!!!

[chuckChuck]

Are you freezing in the dark Hamloc? LOL

Solar and wind are intermittent? No way I have never heard of that.

You don't think grid operators have a plan for cold weather events?

Its been quite windy in many parts of the prairies this cold spell. Hence the high wind chill values.

But apparently the wind turbines have all stopped even in areas that have 10 - 30kmh winds?

Let’s see, first you accuse me of being a conspiracy theorist, now, are you accusing the Alberta Electric System Operator of falsely reporting electrical production from Wind turbines? Electrical production from Alberta’s wind turbines has been below 5% since Thursday evening, bottoming out at 0 this morning. Last I looked Wind was producing 2 MW out of a potential 4481 MW. Do you think all those theoretical future EV’s theoretically powering the future renewables grid would be out of electricity by now?!

So Alberta is the only province on the prairies?

You have heard of backup sources and imports from BC hydro?

With such a record cold spell and your lights are still on?

Hamloc what happened?

Here is an article for you to read Chuck2 on Global, posted Jan. 10: “B.C.’s energy supply can’t meet demand for power:report.”

”The report said by 2026 that increasing demand and generation constraints could become an issue.” I guess we better not look to B.C.!

As for the fact my lights are still on?! That is thanks to natural gas and coal!

Basically the electrical consumer in western Canada has to pay for 2 systems for power.
the “renewables” and a base load that is still needed at max capacity in many times during the winter.
A few “green” nuclear plants will provide petroleum free electricity 24/7

Saskatchewan sent 143 Mega watts to rescue Alberta from their deregulated high priced electricity shortfall! You owe us Hamloc!

How in the hell can anyone honestly think they can plug in all these electric cars and not crash the grid ????
Alberta doesn’t owe Sask anything, they kept us employed and fed through the dark years here under NDP Rule, nutley should be brought before a commission to answer for this horse shit , she shut it all down

“Record cold spell” , WTF are you talking about ? Been 4 or 5 days , not weeks like lots of previous winters ?
