Cold enough for you?

Thank Grant Devine for a province wide natural gas distribution system in Saskatchewan during his premiership.

Bucket is correct. Little to no vision since then, and solar and wind just don't cut it in this environment.

Some warmth for you. 5th and 6th jan

Geez I broke into a sweat just reading that...

Just looked again at the AESO sight. Out of 1445 potential MW production wind is producing 1 MW. 1 out of 20 wind farms are producing and only 1 MW out of 88 at that sight. Question for fans of renewables. Are you willing to freeze in the dark at -30? At 1 MW even if you had battery storage it wouldn't amount to much. Even if the electricity is cheap you can't buy what doesn't exist lol!!!

Absolutely, Thank You Grant, our furnaces work great and cheap. Very reliable whether cloudy or DARK!

A total JOKE but hellish expensive lesson for society. No doubt will be on the scrap heap of DUMB ideas....

My home town had one of those demo windmills ....it was taken down ....didn't notice it gone til the other day. ....

thank you greg selinger for putting mb hydro in massive debt, and giving us hydro rates that are expected to go up 7.5% per year (compounded) for the next several years. At least it created lots of high paying short term union jobs and union dues. very sparse nat gas distribution in rual mb

[bucket]

I could be wrong but maybe hydro is left out of equalization so Manitoba might be in good shape.....

I don't care how many solar panels you have when the temp is -30 to-40 F (and a wind to boot).

Those hydrocarbons and good old plentiful coal are what prevents total catastrophe in today's Sask.

Shame on those who would prematurely lead us into a future when there is no present plan for immediate and present necessity.

Not that those idiots can forsee what will happen under their "leadership".

Cremation of Sam McGee. Always think of this one on days like this

I’m not bright enough to find the up to the minute supply and demand figures on the AESO website. Could you give me directions. Thanks

[Hamloc]

Stampsguy I just go on ets.aeso.ca/supply and demand report. On the page that comes up just click on current supply and demand report. This will show you up to minute power consumption and where it is all being generated, cool site unless of course you are a supporter of green energy lol.
