Farm Solar Scam

And it costs nothing to deliver and pickup your power?

When it can comes through the air like your internet talk to me about the fixed vs variable costs of power.

Edit Oh and yes the cost of the poles and wire to your meter has nothing to do with the amount of power you use. But it is still there. Try using the argument with your insurance agent. But, but I haven't claimed on it. Why are you charging me?

The internet magically comes thru the air without infrastructure - cool, I did not know that.

You pay for it in your power bill. The watts you use, like most other businesses.

Like I said, then you come up with a resolve to balance the disparity. The disparity being the thing you are actually using is barely charged for to ensure renewable energy remains noncompetitive, you instead are paying the majority of the cost for the delivery mechanism.

Probably a pointless discussion since you guys just hate the concept of a competitive market where your power could be much cheaper, cleaner, and not dependent on a single source. You must miss the wheat board.

His (her) argument looks even sillier in print
Wants power co to run a line to the house for free
Leftard way , i guess
Oh and power distribution is gonna get a hell of a lot more expensive in the near future
All the poles here have a serious lean to the east here after that 150 mph west wind
Upkeep a real big deal for power lines, grids , transformer stations, etc, what we need is a nuke reactor in every yard

I read somewhere that it is $1,000 per pole. Not sure if that is installed or not and there are a million poles that need to be replaced by Saskpower in the next 10 years.

You forgot your LOL cause that was funny.

So what you are proposing is the power utility put in place a system to manage its own power generation to balance against whatever power comes its way from independent producers regardless if it is in an area that they want additional power and regardless if it comes at a time when they need that power. Pay for the distribution system to collect that power as well as pay full retail price for that power. And charge nothing for the service.

Sounds like a you are asking for competitive open market system to me ROTFLMAO.

The power you produce is like running into the elevator with 4 five gallon pails of grain every day and wanting to sell it at the same price as that giy that sold 1,000 mt.

Again build solar if you want. But dont expect the system to buy your excess for full retail and back up your system's shortcomings for free.

Sounds like we need more options then just 1 power system then ?? Maybe rural reliability, cost, and efficiency in power comes from other sources as well ?? Supplementing that grid reduces the need for as big a grid ??

There is another concept, to use short term storage and do a more constant drain on the system. Instead of a 10 or 20 xformer, you install a 2 kva and draw full power storing energy. You are then charged fixed on a much smaller peak system. Both the grid and solar etc can feed storage.

Buy a solar cell, point it to the sun, you make power. We must be more creative.

CO2 is precious. And as from the fact that it is essential in many processes, it is what puts the fizz in beer. Its price has recently doubled and now a capture process has been added to brewery fermentation to capture tons of CO2.

I am currently unloading grain next door to a Cannabis facility. They have a giant tank labelled liquid CO2. I wonder if Chuck can guess what they would need that for?

The US experienced a CO2 shortage earlier in the Covid lockdown. Ethanol plants are one of the biggest suppliers of CO2 as a byproduct.

Put together, I find it quite ironic that the pot smoking looney left, also hates ethanol, and it is necessary for production of their favourite past time.
