Kool aid getting undrinkable

What? You cant add another 30 amp circuit to your farm without blowing the main fuse? We are going to add another 200 amp service to deal with all the 20-50 amp fans running in August September. The rest of the year we have a lot of excess capacity and Solar PV covers our average annual usage at a much lower cost than Sask Power.

Sounds like you need a grain dryer?

Oh JEEZ no CC would be in BAD book if he used Nat Gas!

I get a kick out of some who THINK or DON"T think that tripling a 100 year grid is FREE, easy, doable! Get serious $trillions$ would be needed! Im phucking possible!

All this crap is akin to mental idiot Guilt bow. Big announcement today....cancel ICE vehicles by 2035.

Well he could get one that uses libtard sanctioned “heating oil”
there are some in the bush around here
aeration is a good tool , but unfortunately one of the most inefficient drying method’s available

Chuck2 will say I am anti-science but here goes. I drive a 2023 Chev. Blazer with a V-6 gas motor. Recently my wife and I were on short 3 day working holiday. When I got home we had travelled 675 kms. round trip. Still had a quarter of a tank of gas left. So I am guessing another 100 kms. range left. Now I could have waited a year and bought the all new 2024 Chev. Blazer EV. Posted range is 520 km. The vehicle is $10000 minimum more than the vehicle I bought. Where we stayed my car was parked outside and is snowed 6 inches while we were there. Now to come home I would have had to find a charger. The ICE vehicle being $10000 cheaper would buy me 7500 litres of fuel with which I could travel over 75000 kms but dammit according to Chuck2 I am anti-science!!!! I would say EV’s are the government’s way of reducing and controlling our movement and freedom.

As for the picture of Biden I certainly did laugh. A better one would be a picture of Stephen Guilbeault with Justin Trudeau’s and Chuck2’s heads stuck up his derrière!!!

Why is everyone so skeptical of the new green ideas? It is proven that they will work.
In the past, every farm yard had a windmill and the buses in the cities were electric- probably more practical than today's as they had a continuous cable ran all over to run off of instead of having to stop to charge. Gotta love new technology.
Now, if they could only run a continuous cable so I didn't have to plug in my phone

Until , better ways were found , ((i.e. ice vehicles , POWER)

Honestly i see it all this way.
EVs win out because they are " officially" less of a carbon footrpint. So this will get pushed harder than anything ICE in first world countries. In 3rd world countries that are developing ( and china).. welll.... heres russian oil... canadian coal... etc etc to burn and grow your population.

In the developed countries though... such as canada..
whats the difference in who gets subsidized? Honestly.
take a look at every provincial govt and you will see that ice related industry or Ev Related gets subsidized heavily. "Renewables" in bc .. oil and gas here in alberta... but at the end of the day its all in the name of jobs jobs jobs ( but in actuality big business wins and will always win).
How could we possibly need to sibsidize something with tax dollars in order for it to be adopted.. IF it is economically feasible? Hint. We dont.

If it isnt however, then what the piss are we doing?
Why would trudeau need to pump a couple billion to alberta in order to start abandoned well cleanups?
how stupid is that?

How come the federal govt really and truly bought the pipeline?

Why would you need to lift the carbon tax on heating oil in order to help people transition to using a heat pump.. if heat pumps truly are the greatest and most affordable?

Why would we need to give an incentive to people to buy an electric vehicle AND and incentive to install a charger for said vehicle.. IF its cheaper and more economical to use?
Hint. Its not.

But, business always wins and money always talks.
Personally id sooner see subsidies go to the development ( not the utiliization) of renewable energy products/ transitions.

Why wouldnt every single home in canada be built with solar panels and a backup battery? Sibsidize that to the tune of 10 k instead of paying people to replace their windows ( i got 200 bucks a window...even though we needed to replace them!)

The whole thing is truly ludacris both ways.
If something saves people money and WORKS for the people in that area * IN THAT AREA* then why would you need to pay people to adopt it when the natural cycle of economical evolution will win over. Survival of the fittest in feasibility.

Once Ottawa and the White House are blight free and the new governments return to operating a country like a business by allowing people, whether they live in Galveston or Norman Wells, to decide which vehicle, EV or ICE, they choose to drive based on operating cost, reliability and especially winter safety, the quicker companies will move to service those market needs. Socialist governments specializing in laws, taxes and bureaucrats always, always get it wrong, but if given the chance and left alone people become very efficient.

Great post. My favourite comment was related to Heat pumps. If they are truly so economical why does the federal government have to subsidize their installation to the tune of $15000 in Atlantic Canada?!?!

Can't wait until everyone on a city block or in an apartment complex plugs in at same time.

Was thinking about that too! I wonder how many KM an average city person puts on in a day. Would they run down a battery so low they would need fast charge or would trickle chargers recharge over night? I would think at night everyone on the block could run a fairly good size charger.

Does a trickle charger take more power than a block heater?

Keeping the interior of car warm in winter is a bigger concern to me.
