    Who told you we are going to bankrupt the economy.

    Did smartphones bankrupt the telecom industry? Hell no!

    Does making industry less polluting more efficient and using less fossil fuels bankrupt the economy? No again!

    Its time to wake up! Its a transition to a low carbon emission economy.
    Never once said humans have no influence on climate
    Look at the economies in countries pushing hard for net zero .
    Smart phones have nothing to do with it.
    Again watch the video , from their perspective on the UK economy
    And yes it’s a transition to low carbon economy, it’s the panic mode created that’s the problem
    Again , watch the video

      You didn't answer did you! LOL

      Smartphones are an example of technology improving and changing. They are putting landline phones out of business but the economy keeps growing doesn't it.

        Totally agree Chuck.

        We have a competitive advantage with a natural resource that still has more opportunity for expansion if we can get by the regulatory and social issues.
        Hydro is proven to provide reliable reasonably priced dispatchable energy.

        I don't see any advantages that we have in importing solar panels to Saskatchewan that produce very little for 6 months of the yr.

          Contrary top your opinion they produce very well in the southern prairies year round. They actually are producing well during this sunny cold snap producing more than we use.

          Mine are putting out 10,000 to 20,000 watts for much of the sunny day. When they are cold they they are more efficient and the reflection of the sun off of the snow helps as well.

            In other news Nikola, another EV manufacturer, files Chapter 11.

              Small self-financed system that still requires mainstream backup.
              A little different from saving the world.

                Musk/SpaceX's satellite based phone technology is going to be a quantum leap for cell phone users.

                Have you got your name on the list Chuck?

                  Most Canadians wont be buying anything Musk makes. Teslas are now toxic in many markets!

                  Doug Ford is prepared to cancel the Musk contract for Starlink and there is a Canadian option coming.

                  Way to go Musk! Promote Neo nazis in Germany and elsewhere and reduce your market share just at time that competitors are catching up!

                    Musk is trying to expose waste and political graft and long term rot in the way tey spend taxpayers money.

                    I don't have to say he is kind of a weird duck with an obsession for eliminating inefficiency and waste. He put a time limit on it ending the program next July as he doesn't want it to be like most government agencies that outlive their usefulness.

                    He put together SpaceX with a small group of people in less time and about 1 tenth of the budget of NASA.
                    He does most of the rocket work for most of the world including NASA.
                    From AI: SpaceX's launches are significantly cheaper than NASA's, with a Falcon 9 launch costing around $62 million compared to NASA's Space Launch System (SLS) which can cost over $2 billion per launch, making SpaceX's launches roughly 30 times less expensive per launch​

                    Are you saying there is no place for ambitious, intelligent people with connections to Saskatchewan and educated in Canada?

                      Clearly Chuck has no internet issues.
                      As usual preaching from prosperity.
