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

[chuckChuck]

So time to change the subject because you can't face facts? LOL

So the solar is not producing either in all the summer sun? How come you forget about solar? Early onset?

Its not one or the other when disusing renewables and other sources. There are 365 days in the year and you need to measure their annual output and contribution to lowering carbon emissions.

Wind and solar have the the lowest LCOE for new capacity.

But you will always find an excuse to say they don't work nor have any value!

Yes, lets look at wind and solar together. Just after 7 this morning, and wind and solar together were producing 6% of their nameplate capacity.

While natural gas is providing 90% of generation.

What a surprise Jethro! The sun is barely up in Alberta!

So what about 10 am to 4 pm still low when all the air conditioners are running?

[AlbertaFarmer5]

Are you familiar with the duck curve?

[AlbertaFarmer5]

The sun has been up for over 2 hours now in Ab. Solar and wind together are up to 6.6%.

[AlbertaFarmer5]

So what about 10 am to 4 pm still low when all the air conditioners are running?

Glad you asked. Almost midday now. Wind is down to 11 MW, which is 0.2 % of nameplate capacity.
Wind and solar together are now up to 20% of their nameplate.
Natural gas generation is UP since early morning.

Go fossil fuels! You have no competition.

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

That would be agriville where chuckroach always brings the silly!

Go fossil fuels! You have no competition.

A long ways from net zero.

Will never happen as the money is spent .
All on Debt financing now with zero ROI as they are just replacing functional plants.
If you spend billion with no increase in productivity does that cause inflation and reduce per capita productivity to the lowest in the G20?

Chuck you are so far gone it’s laughable now

What was the wind and solar production today from 10 till 4 pm ?

[AlbertaFarmer5]

What was the wind and solar production today from 10 till 4 pm ?

I've been checking occasionally today. Solar peaked out at 1300 out of 1650 capacity.
Wind never got above 0.5% of its own capacity.
Gas provided approx 85% of generation all day.
