I guess Scotty Moe and the Saskparty are a bunch of "loony left wingers" giving the go ahead for Saskpower to install a 10MW solar system in SW Saskatchewan. I guess all the jobs this creates wont be real jobs! hahahah

Hmmm 7 acres per megawatt and top solar projects produce at about 22% efficiency lol.

Still driving your first car? Still using a party line? Is your computer a Commodore 64?

Lots of roofs out there that can take solar panels too. Panels have been getting cheaper and more efficient.

They work best in dry warm sunny places but they work really well here too to reduce carbon emissions.

Saskpwer and the Saskparty must be wrong! LOL

Chuck2 I just looked up the worlds solar module production. 73% produced in China, USA only 1%, Canada doesn’t even show up. Certainly an additional way that Canada will export jobs out of the country. All the green energy jobs are in installation, so importation of a product and installing it, nothing to export.

I still don’t agree that solar power is a technological advancement as you portray it to be. Trains have been diesel electric for decades. The interesting question is if you looked at the worlds natural resources will we run out of fossil fuels first or elements like copper, cobalt, lithium?

Hammy have you heard of Canadian Solar headquartered in Guelph?
https://www.canadiansolar.com/aboutus/ https://www.canadiansolar.com/aboutus/

Here is a list of their worldwide projects they have been involved in:
https://www.canadiansolar.com/successful-projects/ https://www.canadiansolar.com/successful-projects/

Do Ford and GM make all their vehicles in the US? A big nope! Why not?

If Chinese manufacturing of solar panels bothers you have you looked at all the other products that are made in China and sold around the world? You probably have quite a lot of Chinese products!

Aren't capitalist supposed to go where the most profit can be made or do you not believe in capitalism and free trade anymore?

Yes we are at risk of running out of many things on earth including many elements, clean air, clean water, and a functioning ecosystem. So that's why we should recycle, conserve and preserve as much as possible.

You might want to be also concerned about the decline in phosphorous reserves. Because without cheap and easily available P agriculture will be short in the next few hundred years. What then?

When you figure out how recycle solar panels and wind turbines let us know ..
I am sure someone will at some point , but until then you should step off your little soap box and take a breather .... your going to give yourself an aneurism one of these days .

Have they figured out how to reclaim oil wells and the tar sands yet? Because there sure seems to be a lot of them not cleaned up!

I didn’t start this thread just responding to the lies about solar. The original poster didn’t even mention it was a solar thermal project!

Umm , look at the reclamation projects in the oil sands area. There are lots of successful projects.
Abandoned oil wells are a big issue , and I don’t think anyone ever refuted that here .

Check this out: Prairiesunlight.com This outfit has developed the Vauxhall AB solar project that is up and running now. On the AESO website it is the Vauxhall project listed under biomass and other so you can see what it putting out. This project is visible from hwy 36 just north of the town. They claim that they can produce without subsidies so one can calculate the revenue. If they generate 1.5M per year in power sales would that make a $25M solar farm pay? Alberta still has the large emitters scam up and running so I am wondering if they can sell carbon credits under this program which I would consider a subsidy.
