If solar and wind don't work why are Saskpower and numerous other provinces, states, countries and public and private companies installing them? Saspower is planning on 1600Mw of wind. Why?

I realize small scale coal generating is not feasible, but space heating with coal is still in use on farms.

Ever phone up Westmoreland coal or a quote. pretty sure that's a thing o the past.

Used to see The Hutterites hauling super B's of coal back to Manitoba. When was the last load spotted. You might find a hefty price on Wyoming coal that travelled through several states and a few Canadian provinces...to the point where long time coal users are giving up.

Sometimes I wonder what can be taken at face value...and what is propaganda and someone else's agenda.

Dodds family coal mine still open here.
Chuck. Alternative energy needs development for r&d and feasability study.
Blind pursuit if present, would be attributable to the push from people like you. And of course the unlimited supply of tax income.

The CBC and other like minded media outlets constantly talk about how nobody is building coal fired electrical plants and that they are obsolete. But industrial powerhouses like Germany and Japan are still building new coal plants..I guess the left is guilty of purveying "alternative facts" and it is unfortunate in Canada we taxpayers will end up footing the bill.

Totally agree, media are the biggest liars since Hitler, keep saying the LIE till it's believed!

Chuck2. So that is your response? That Saskpower is doing it so it must be right?

They also added carbon capture which I believe you aren't fond of. So don't hang your hat there. It ain't a great comeback.
