Canadian CEOs want governments to invest in clean-tech innovation

Most farms are responsive to the market and are driven by supply and demand. If not they wouldn't be in business very long. You do believe in supply and demand and the principles of a free market?

Many food items are beyond the reach of many of the world's inhabitants including lots of meat and dairy products? Are you suggesting that these are not valid food industries because poor people can't afford them?

Where is your evidence that you will pay 4 times the cost of electricity? The LCOE that I posted above is one study and I am sure there are more that show that wind is currently competitive.

Can we convert the entire base load to wind? No. Can we invest in renewables that make economic sense? Yes, which is what Sask Power and Brad Wall must be planning for.

It doesn't matter what the evidence is...you're not interested in hearing it.


Maybe start by reading the reports you provide; followed up by a lot more than just listening to like minded "environmentalists".

Chuck eventually that carbon bullshit tax will be put on farmers which in the end will be transferred to higher prices for food which ultimately the poorer people will not afford. In that process farmers will go out of business and replaced by governments like china and Saudi Arabia who will produce their own good on our soil of which the conservatives and sask party have allowed the base if that to start and it appears the liberals are so wound up on this do good notion that their actions are only going to forward the stupidity and in my mind treason created by the former governments.

You need the alternative to be in place before you try force someone into doing something else because the something else is gonna be less money to buy other hinges that's all.

Oneoff I have read what I have posted.

Alot of which comes from experts in their field backed up by evidence.

Primarily what I have seen from your posts are opinions based on a what?

Where is your empirical evidence that carbon taxes don't work and that renewable energy is not viable a option?
