Happy New Year

[Hamloc]

A new Angus Reid poll is out and Justin Trudeau is pushing the Federal Liberal’s to an all time low at 16% among decided voters! The longer he sticks around the worse it gets. As a side benefit Jagmeet Singh’s personal approval rating continues to slide. I hope that in 2025 both become part of Canada’s political history! Happy New Year to all!!

We can’t get rid of this perverse coalition soon enough….

[seldomseen]

Happy New Year everyone!
This has to happen this year for the sake of the country!
Canada can’t go on with these Wacko’s!

Happy New Year everyone. We can only hope to get some adults in charge in Ottawa soon.

This ship needs a Captain.

2025 coming in clear and cold in Alberta at -19 and surprise surprise our woke windmills are generating at just over 2% of capacity. A new year but nothing changes!!!

[chuckChuck]

Windmills are woke?

So Texas and North Dakota have woke windmills too?

So how much total energy did they produce last year Hamloc?

"In October 2024, Alberta generated 2,217.2 megawatts of renewable energy compared to 7,805.5 megawatts for non-renewable energy. Non-renewable energy generation was down by -4.2% year over year.Nov 21, 2024" The AESO anticipates that renewables will make up 30% of Alberta's electricity supply between 2024 and 2026.

Jeez Hamloc that was 28% for renewables in October meaning you must have used some renewables on your farm! I guess they were working quite a lot! Did the 28% not work on your farm there Hammy? LOL

Your crops only produce during May to October but you still count their annual yield don't you?

Because from November to May your crops and grass produced nothing! Windmills and solar can collect wind and solar energy year round.

Of course concepts like this are hard to understand for those with a grade 5 understanding of science and evidence!

Its the either or crowd! You can lead them to water but they won't drink!

You ever been to ND?

Chuck2, in the above AESO up to the minute supply demand report, the electric system is producing over 10800 megawatts. Renewables, solar, wind, hydro, make up over 36% of Alberta’s generation capacity. What you are suggesting above is that for the month of October renewables produced over 21% of Alberta’s total power from 36% of Alberta’s generation capacity. This translates to an average capacity factor for renewables of over 60% for the month of October. I looked on the AESO site and could find no such report. Historically the capacity factor of wind is 35%, solar about 15% and Hydro in Alberta tends to be around 30%. So I call bullshit. Please show me the link to this report.

As far as crops. Yes undoubtedly produced in the summer, the key difference is I can store all of it to be withdrawn whenever required, this does not apply to electricity.

Have you heard of the inflation reduction act?
Surprisingly it has nothing to do with reducing inflation.

From wokipedia:

"It represents the largest investment towards addressing climate change in United States history."
"including $783 billion on energy and climate change."
"Goldman Sachs predicts a total of $1.2 trillion"
Huge bill with so much spending sprinkled in no one knows where it goes.


Climate subsidies will dry up with Musk doing true inflation reduction.
Hopefully.

Coal is stored solar energy.
ND has the worlds largest lignite deposit.
Currently 55% of generation.
Wind 36%
Let's watch and see what they do with their coal.

The latest from Nanos research. I found it interesting that Nanos has the Liberals higher than the NDP, Angus Reid found the opposite.

[LEP]

Nanos consistently finds higher support for Liberals.

Paid hack.
