Electrical generation and Integrity

I wasn't aware that none of them worked, simply because I didn't look.
.

There are definitely exceptions.
We have a close neighbor who has been off grid for at least 15 years now. They couldn't afford the half mile Plus of power line at the time.
Having spent many multiples of that, and still not having reliable energy and being unable to leave the systems unattended to get away from home, if they could afford it now, they would happily get on the grid.

I bet! Wow.

They're not in Africa

Texas and North Dakota have integrated large amounts of renewable electricity into their grids. But you fools still don't think it works? LOL

You can lead em to water but you can't make them think!

Good article by Lorrie Goldstein. Some interesting numbers.

Even if they are impossible to achieve, you will never convince the brain dead turd. His plan is to break the country before he leaves to slide comfortably into his UN seat. Carney will help him.

The provinces all have a tax on large carbon emitters. Saskatchewan and Alberta included.

All wrong so far...

More facts...
‘Slow Car Crash’

"Researcher Ben Pile, who runs the Climate Debate UK campaign group, told The Epoch Times that he believes the entire green energy agenda is “like a very slow car crash.”

“All of its parts are on a collision course with reality,” he said via email.

Throughout Europe, governments have advanced “increasingly draconian climate and energy policies” in the belief that this would kickstart domestic industries, Pile said.

“But even despite sky-high energy prices and huge subsidies, green energy developers simply cannot survive,” he said.

Pile said the promises of green economic growth, green industries, and green jobs “have not delivered, and they are not going to be delivered.”

The Epoch Times reached out to Orsted, but the company declined to comment.

According to a 2024 report ([url]https://iea.org.uk/were-number-one-in-unaffordable-electricity/[/url]) by energy analyst David Turver, published by the free market think tank The Institute of Economic Affairs, UK industrial electricity prices, at 25.85 pence per kilowatt-hour (about 32 cents per kilowatt-hour), are among some of the highest in the world.

Turver noted that the government has committed to a decarbonized grid by 2030.

“Pushing even more renewables on to the grid is bound to increase electricity costs even further, crushing our competitiveness,” his report stated.
Scottie Barnes and Reuters contributed to this report."

Can you imagine someone so ignorant that they come on a forum to constantly spout off about believe the science and follow the science etc
While ignoring all of the readily available science which refutes everything he claims.

Why????

By chuck's logic of " everyone else is doing it", so it must be right, I can think of other examples where as it turns out, everyone was not right.

For example, both Alberta and Saskatchewan had Eugenics programs.
Both supported residential schools.
Both enforced Covid mandates.
Both dabbled with socialism.

I can think of some other obvious examples throughout history where governments enacted policies which with the benefit of hindsight, we shouldn't emulate. Europe in the first half of the 20th century has some infamous examples.

Ivanpah - Another monster solar power failure is a massive sea of hundreds of thousands of computer-controlled mirrors that concentrate the sun’s rays and reflect those rays onto 450 foot tower topped with water. This boiling water generates California power in the Mohave dessert. Billions of taxpayer dollars were directed at this project only eleven years ago. The entire effort is slated to close in 2026. Another unfathomable waste.
