It looks like out bill this year will be over 10,000 for power for two people. Need to look for other source of heat for our three buildings. We don’t have gas no where close so that is out. We did look into solar but in Saskatchewan the contract looked like it was redone in 10 years and I would dought it would have favorited me. We have plenty of wood and flax straw might have to resort to that to stay warm.

My power bill for jan is 218$ 17.7cents/kw for a consumption of 1234 kw,all in,but the cost of energy is .068, or 83$ the rest is trans,distribution,carbon,gst . Over all last yr just over $2000.

Our REA (Lakeland) is very similar to that except we get a charge of 1 cent per kwh in the distribution charge as well bring the total variable cost to 7.8 cents per kilowatt hour. Alberta REA is some of the most expensive power in the country.

Heard part of a Bill Gates interview, he is a save the world kind of guy. However he put it quite blunt to the interviewer that wind and solar can not replace fossil fuels at this point. There is no other alternative, yet. Hopefully hearing it from a respected left leaning guy like Gates may help some people realize reality.
