-8c in texas ...thats gotta be a marketing topic?

What if this predictable outcome isn't a bug, but a ( maybe even THE) feature?

Real world starting to sink in a bit. Eventually comes to those living away from it all in inner cities. Mother nature doesnt discriminate.

Look at the risks that a fully electrified grid with solar and wind would be susceptible to; snow, ice, hail, hurricanes, tornados, terrorism, EMP, solar flare, computer hack etc. And zero redundancy in those events. Our energy would become 100x more fragile. This is stupid already.

AE: If oil companies are paying all the costs as you claim, why does Alberta have 3127 orphaned wells, 3186 orphaned pipeline segments, 1553 orphaned sites etc etc (2019 figures)? Who is going to pay for the cleanup of the 100,000 inactive wells in the province. AER estimated it will take $58.65 to remediate all of the unproductive wells in the province.

And that does not include the land rental payments to farmers that oil companies have walked away from.

How does any of this address the issue of the chronic losses incurred with wind power?

Yours is a classic example of the whataboutism argument.

Saskatchewan has huge resources of uranium, let’s just build a base off nuclear then let individuals put up their windmills and solar panels if it works for them or in areas that are not handcuffed by winter climates like most rural Canadians.
Make EV’s economic in big urban centres where it makes sense to drastically reduce pollution, that’s a good thing . But ensure there is a reliable power source in place before forcing changes .
Definitely going to be big time growing pains if pushed to fast into this “green new world”

Watched a video on how the power grid works
It’s absolutely amazing and so many don’t understand it or appreciate it
How these bird mincer/Chinese panel assholes think they can stuff their excess power into whenever it’s convenient for them and the grid needs to take their little virtue signalling bullshit and pay them for it is beyond me . There is NO STORAGE !!!
Electricity that is hit and miss is a joke

Solar activity has been dropping since it's peak during Solar Cycle #24 in Feb 2014.

Predictions have been made that Solar Cycle #25 will be a Grand Solar Minimum, with NOAA's predicted sun spot forecast. NOAA forecasting sun spots won't rise to 2014 levels till,,, the year 2024.

Get use to the cold, and crop growing problems,,, likely on going for the next 10 years.

This has more to do with poor gov't and lack of responsibility than it does with economics. If you could open a dump and fill that coulee right up and collect all the tippage fees over the years and then just sell it to an offshore shell company and walk away money in pocket, who wouldn't this might shock you but some people out there quite enjoy making money by screwing the system over.

And yes it is a marketing topic, and it was awfully nice to some of my stocks this morning as well as my unsold CWRS .

I wondered that, just can't dump generated amps in unlimited.

maybe someone can explain the winter wheat crop in the southern states. Is there any of it actually growing and above ground at this time of the yr? Thats going to be a lot more damage than some winter kill.
