Carney’s policies going forward

[fjlip]

Trump and Musk will EITHER Phuck carnage totally....or they are all in on it and we WILL be 51st state!

[chuckChuck]

It always amuses the arrogance of people like yourself Chuck2. What do you think the average farmer does on a daily basis? We invest all the time in improving efficiency. Forty years ago my Dad and Uncle worked the land 3 times, them applied anhydrous, then seeded with a hoe drill and then harrowed it. Now we do it all in one pass. What I don’t consider efficient is taking good productive land and covering it with Chinese solar panels that only produce power when the sun shines or buying an electric car that if I drive from my home to Edmonton I have to find a charger to get back home. So when King Carney promises the ‘biggest transformation’ of the economy since WW2 and looking at his outsized desire for net zero I am decidedly nervous.

Huh?

It was already shown that the oil industry and other industries already cover way more land than renewables.

But you and Danny persist in your lies!

North Dakota and Texas Hamloc!

Keep spreading your anti renewable energy bullshit! LOL

That is what you got out of my post?
There are 50 states in the U.S. Why do you never mention any of the other 48? 2 out of 50 is 4%!?!?
I believe you attacked AF5 saying he never invested in efficiency. I was pointing out that farmers constantly must become more efficient to survive.
As for the amount of land covered by the oil industry, fossil fuels provide what 85% of our energy, I would think they have a larger footprint but there is no doubt per unit of energy produced renewables would have a larger footprint.

I wonder what the footprint of wind and solar per unit of reliable, dispatchable energy would be? I've been trying to calculate that, but my calculator keeps giving an error, something about division by zero.

I must be doing something wrong.

Blame me.
I brought up some ND and TX stats back in Dec and he's been waving those names around since.
But never any response afterwards.
Chuck an empty shell. Worthless

[AlbertaFarmer5]

Limitless, almost free natural gas as a byproduct of the fracking revolution in North Dakota and Texas is almost enough to overwhelm the massive cost increases from wind and solar as we have seen in literally every other jurisdiction they have been attempted.

Almost.

As I pointed out to the last time Chuck was gloating about Texas electricity prices, Louisiana right next door with no wind and solar has far cheaper electricity then Texas does.

[shtferbrains]

Prices in the USA are not our concern as that relationship is over.

Look, let me be crystal clear, we need to move to new trading partners and a new economy.
We will now be more like our new friends who are mostly on the top right corner of this chart.
Mark Carney's best friends, so our best friends now?

U aughta drive by the coal mine in ND.

" anti renewable energy bullshit"

Earth to STUPID guy....all hydrocarbons are constantly RENEWING deep in the earth....No way in HELL Fossil derived.

Wake up, grow up, get a brain.

[chuckChuck]

Both states have lots of renewables because they make economic sense. But the flat earthers make up all kinds of excuses!

And the issue of land use was laid to rest with a report from the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) which stated that Alberta's growing renewable energy sector does not pose a significant threat to agricultural land. In a report, the AUC found that even if all renewable developments were located on the best agricultural land, the percentage of land lost would be estimated to be less than one percent by 2041. The AUC also noted that renewable energy projects have well-understood and contained reclamation risks unlike the oil industry which has a much bigger problem with land loss and damage.
