    These contracts are real contracts for energy in Sask and Alberta. This is not fantasy

    From my previous post
    Wind energy makes sense in Canada at a generation cost of 3 to 4 cents per kWh as the article I posted indicates.
    What are you currently paying for hydro in Sask and Alberta? cents per kWh?
    How do you power out of a company after they have gone bankrupt?

      So they will find and fabricate any reason possible not to support any efforts to reduce carbon emisssions with renewable energy sources.

      About the only thing they will support is ethanol and bio-fuels which have questionable carbon emission reduction benefits, but they do help prop up ag commidity prices based on government mandated Renewable Fuel Standard.

      "The Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) requires U.S. transportation fuel to contain a minimum volume of renewable fuel. The RFS—established by the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (P.L. 109-58; EPAct05) and expanded in 2007 by the Energy Independence and Security Act (P.L. 110-140; EISA)—began with 4 billion gallons of renewable fuel in 2006 and aims to ascend to 36 billion gallons in 2022. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has statutory authority to determine the volume amounts after 2022."
      The old CWB wanna be crowd seems to be the only one supporting human caused climate catastrophe.....
      very evident here

        Go to ceee bee ceee.have a look at the latest GARBAGE. All about converting home heat from gas to electric. The idiot minions on there commenting are nuts. As is the writer.

        Why do these doughnuts seem to think that electricity comes from thin air? Like the electric car issue. The electricity still comes from fossil fuels by and large.

        Our education system is failing western civilization on the critical THINKING front. Ugh. End rant.

          This "wing energy" you initially posted. Is it from blades grinding up parts of birds?

          Had to ask.

            I would certainly like an answer to my concern which you and Chuck refuse to address which is what is the actual cost of providing wind energy 24 hrs. a day 365 days a year, this requires more than just wind mills. So yes when wind energy is available it is affordable at 4 cents a kilowatt. But when you have to have a back up generation system doesn't that contribute to the cost? As for what I pay for power I pay 6.9 cents a kilowatt under a fixed price contract with Enmax for the generation aspect, the transmission and administration costs amount to another 13-15 cents a kilowatt depending on the time of year. In the winter it is the lower number due to higher consumption. Usually if I average it out over a whole year I pay just over 20 cents a kilowatt all in. If I went without a fixed price contract I would have payed closer to 5 cents a kilowatt last year but for months like this January 2020 the variable rate will be closer to 8 cents a kilowatt due to the cold weather and Alberta's generation being taxed to the limit.
