Happy Chuck?

There are some really thinned skinned individuals who are easily insulted when challenged.

But you gotta love all the Albertans whining about how renewable electricity doesn't work or is too expensive in the province that is currently leading the country in building renewable capacity.

Meanwhile gas and diesel prices were super high this spring and the oil companies were raking in huge profits, but the biggest issue is electricity prices in Germany? How much do you spend on German electricity vs Canadian diesel?

Do you think the high prices for electricity in Germany have anything to do with the abrupt loss of large amounts of imports of gas from Russia? Naw that coudn't be true! LOL

What about electricity prices in Alberta's deregulated market? Its cheaper in Saskatchewan's regulated market.. And both provinces are investing in significant amounts wind and solar and interconnections with other producing regions.

In Alberta our open deregulated market transparently shows the cost of governments forcing by regulation the shuttering of coal fired electricity generation. In regulated government non transparent system like Saskatchewan how would you know the true cost of generation or the level of subsidization?

All we know is Saskatchewan has cheaper electricity and that's good enough for most people.

And unless you work in the AESO or are an economist who specializes in analyzing the cost of electricity in each province, you won't have a clue what the system and generation cost are and what impact the changes are having.

But don't let that stop you from blaming it all on renewables!

Chuck, you are getting close to figuring out the answer to my question.
You have correctly deduced that electricity is more expensive in Ab than in Sask.
And you have correctly noted that Ab has significant solar and wind installed.
In fact according to Canada National Energy Regulator, Ab has more than 10 times as much wind and solar.
Can you put those two facts together and come to any conclusions?

Thin skinned nah.

But every time some disagrees with Glen “shit hole club, agrisilly knuckledrsggers etc etc”

Disagree with Jazz plenty of times still mutual respect and others.

Crazy big coal mine finally got approved here on Friday 14 years of jumping through hoops yep all the coals going to India and China.

New govt bringing in raft of climate change stuff but exports coal to biggest polluters such is life we are a mineral rich export based economy.

[chuckChuck]

Saskatchewan is adding lots of wind power as well. So the only reason electricity prices are rising in Alberta and Saskatchewan is because of renewables? Not because natural gas prices are also rising?

A5 tell us what the system and generation cost are and what impact the changes are having? See if you can put 2 and 2 together?

Or do you think we should just take your armchair speculation as fact without actually seeing the numbers? LOL
