WIND ENERGY is extremely efficient

[bucket]

I guess I was close but not three but four hockey rinks got wind turbines, at five hundred thousand each and hopefully making 8 thousand in power a year and costing 25 hundred a year in maintenance.
It sure doesn’t sound like a winner.

The wind turbines were installed in Central Butte, Eatonia, Shaunavon and Strasbourg. I’m wondering if these turbines are in operation.

A guy down the road put up a fairly large turbine I think it cost a little more than a hundred grand and a few years later the company that built it went broke and the blades haven’t turned since.

If these turbines were such a good deal there'd be way more installations in the country side, after all most farm houses in the 40s and 50s had a water pump windmill and a 6 volt battery charger windmill.

Central Butte turbine was taken out a couple years ago...

The flat earth society on Agriville isn't prepared to admit human caused climate change is an issue nor something they should do anything about.

So they will find and fabricate any reason possible not to support any efforts to reduce carbon emisssions with renewable energy sources. 2022."

Nope, now turn that statement around. The climate alarmists aren't willing to accept we cant power our society on unicorn farts and the thinnest of science and are doing anything and everything they can to shut down our only reliable energy sources at the altar of climate change.

The Eatonia turbine was removed a few years ago too.

Why can no one answer the questions I asked. Why deal in hyperbole. I posted a CBC article that quotes the price of contracts for wind energy (the article says it is about 4 cents a kw hour. I also asked what we pay for energy in Sask and Alberta

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?

9-11c

But your economics need a brush up because you cant directly compare a subsidized intermittent energy source with a free market one that is 100% reliable.

Work in the subsidy, the FF backup the wind mill relies on and its downtime and its easily double what nat gas could do.

Here Saskpower is installing a massive combined cycle power plant at moose jaw just to back up the extra renewables they are putting on the grid. Why aren't they installing wind and solar to back up wind and solar? Sask is a big place, must be sun shining or wind blowing somewhere.

Good thing sex and electricity aren't similar. At least one can have occasional results from fantasy.

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.

It farmer.

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.

Obviously you didn't see admit that Denmark is 10 times 3 cents!
