[fjlip]

To include those "persons" that got one installed...

WTF are they ?is this garbage just to keep the simpeltons distracted from the real problems in canada ?

So you still can't believe regulated government run electricity in Saskatchewan is cheaper than deregulated free market electricity is in Alberta? Shocking!

And then the bigots and haters with short attention spans and small minds lose the thread and start talking about gender?

There is a reason why I call it Agrisilly!

But what would you possibly know about deflection?

It's not like you are the foremost expert on the topic, with years of experience.

From here it looks like Chuck is the only one in this room who wants the AB govt to do everything differently.
Next will be auto insurance.
I could pick on SK all day but I don't live there.

If I'm bored I could call and find out what my big transfomer and breaker costs. It's awful. But without, I couldn't turn on 3 air fans.
I have a diesel generator for another bin pad, but it's an expensive pia.
3 phase is 500 yards away and was $40k to bring in 6 years ago.
How does SK do it then?
Taxpayers cover it?

And by your math, my cost per kwh goes down the more I use.

[blackpowder]

I never said it was cheaper. I really didn't know. Some convos were $/kwh alone. Seems to bother you more than anyone else.

[chuckChuck]

I am not bothered. But most of you are in denial about the Alberta utilities withholding supply to raise electricity prices. Even Danny figured it out it. And it isn't a good look nor fair to consumers.

A neighbor down the road set up a nice fab shop with 3 phase to run cnc lathes and big welders about 10+ yrs ago.
I think that was the number that it cost him to come from the distribution line that goes by the front of his yard.

[chuckChuck]

Farmers pay for bringing 3 phase to their yard. Not sure on the costs but it is expensive unless you are close to a 3 phase line already.

Chuck2 did you even read post number nineteen on this thread? I covered many topics in relation to electricity in Alberta. Unfortunately you have proven again that you either don’t read posts or don’t understand what is written. Or you really only want to insult everyone and not have a real discussion..

[chuckChuck]

"Personally I never supported privatization of Alberta Power as I felt it would result in more expensive electricity, which has certainly been the result." Your words not mine Hamloc.

Coal to gas has cost some money for sure but it lowers carbon emissions by half.

But you keep failing to acknowledge that the Alberta utilities have been purposely driving up the cost of electricity.

And you fail acknowledge that renewables are the lowest cost new source electricity that increase supply and help keep prices lower. And they don't need to supply electricity all the time to do that.
