For the first time in more than 150 years, Alberta’s electricity is coal free

[chuckChuck]

Alberta has gone coal free in electricity production and cut CO2 emissions and the flat earth climate change deniers don't like it.

The sky hasn't fallen but there pretty sure they are going to freeze in the dark anyway because cleaner gas has replaced the coal!

Instead they want to pick winners and losers in the energy free market and put the brakes on renewables and make up all kinds of silly arguments that don't hold up to scrutiny.

Like renewables are taking up a lot of good farmland which was proven false by the Alberta Utilities Commission report. They found the bigger threat from other industrial and residential and urban development.

And guess what some pipelines are on the surface along with associated infrastructure. I guess A5 needs another picture to understand this?

Does Alberta still have the highest electric rates? I think I know why….

Chuck, I did a Google search of the image you posted of the above ground pipelines. It is from fort mcmurray. So I asked you how much farmland has been lost to pipelines in fort mcmurray. And you didn't answer. Do you know how much farming is being done in fort mcmurray? You are a lot closer to there than I am. Maybe you should drive up and take a look for yourself.

There are numerous headers and pipeline pumping compressor stations, gas plants and refineries on good farmland. Not to mention oil and gas wells and all the roads. Do you need some more pictures? LOL

simple minded chucks will never understand ,all they can do is insult and call names when asked for facts

chuck has to be the densest person the planet. 2 days after his post...

And the reason?!?! Very simple, high pressure air mass, very little wind, wind turbines are producing below 5% of nameplate capacity. One thing consistent about wind turbines, produce the least when needed the most.

chuck knows nothing, he is a paid troll obviously.

Using coal allowed diversification in baseload. Now using NG, we are using one fuel to heat homes, run heavy industries and generate residential power, all bottlenecked by pipeline networks. Hmmm, what could go wrong.

If AB is going to rely all on one fuel, they better start washing some caverns.

By the way, AB had to buy some coal generated power overnight from little ol Sask.

Thanks crop! Those word 2x4 ‘s will keep the Geebow minion searching over time ????

must save all those stats, I have many similar already

Where else can you find so many words printed by someone who knows so little?

While Chuck certainly takes first place. His fearless leader Jagmeet comes in a close second, if you've ever suffered through one of his anti-capitalist Twitter diatribes.

[chuckChuck]

You guys already forgot the report from the Alberta Utilities Commission on land use in Alberta?

Such short memories!

"From 2019 to 2021, the largest driver of agricultural land loss was expansion of pipelines and industrial sites," it says. "Other key drivers… include urban residential development, mines and wells, and roads."

Just checked, and Alberta wind is producing exactly zero again as of 11:00 a.m. on friday.
What was it that Chuck kept telling us during the winter when we would point out that wind and solar produced zero on the coldest nights? Something about having another demand peak in the middle of summer that they can adequately meet?

In reality, when electricity demand is highest either due to cold or hot, unreliables live up to their namesake.
There is that one day in the spring and another day in the fall when the wind blows and the Sun shines, and demand is that it's absolute lowest for the year...
Too bad grass farmer isn't here to tell me that I'm just reading the aeso report in correctly.
