Is it a case that "renewable" energy is cheaper than "conventional" energy. If so then when do the rate decreases start. And "renewable" better be just as dependable and it had better be capable of more than just supplementing...it had better be capable of fully replacing the electrical loads.
And so far on the horizon there are no satisfactory electrical extension cords; nor huge cheap batteries; nor satisfactory proven energy sources that could replace the oil we have come to require and depend upon. There's a lot more to an energy grid than residential LED lighting. There are manufacturing sectors and mining and agriculture and even tourism and travel etc. etc. Not a mention of how those significant energy users will be supplied. And never a call for; nor a desire to forgo the benefits of an industrialized; mobile; fun seeking; grunt work avoiding population. This is all about shallow thinking; self interest; single issues; wanna be eco friendly live to be a hundred and fifty years old in a fully worn out body. Something most handle by shipping off "loved ones" to a nursing home and never getting to see the day to day existence of living in a Broda chair on the good days. BACK CLOSER TO THE TOPIC
Best not to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Not yet; but its happening at an alarming rate.
Not to mention making the coal and oil towns like Estevan into a ghost town. What workers could possibly be left. You think things have slowed down in the last 18 months....we haven't seen nothing yet compared to what shutting down Boundary Dam and coal miningin the very near future will do.
A lot of people depend on coal and oil a lot more than they are willing to admit.
And my guess is that 5% electricity rate increases are nothing compared to what is coming under "renewable" energy.
Oh and the prairie plains are probably not nearly as ideal for wind energy as some claim.
Show me the data to prove otherwise. My guess is that "chain letter" reprints don't dwell on facts
....more like a tabloid and unfounded idealistic propaganda
