Alberta's Energy

Here is a lovely graphic of AESO electrical power generation by input energy source.

Alberta, Sunday, January 7th, 2:15 PM. Sunny skies with some haze, -12C in Calgary.

Wind and solar are delivering power at a fraction of the installed capacity, on a sunny cold January day.

How is installing more of the same the answer?

It doesn’t work when citizens need it most.

You can go to the link at night, any time to see the graphic in motion.

NOW ADD TO THAT THE FOLLOWING GREEN NEW DEAL, JUST TRANSITION

1. Nat gas phased out in favour of heat pumps; taking home heating and adding to the demand;

2. Plugging in your mandatory EVS

   Better dig a deep cave where geo thermal might keep you warm. The greenies are collaborators ending the west for their fellow citizens.

3. phasing out all that ORANGE.

4. Preventing wood burning stoves.

   What is the CO2 for shits and giggles for all those frozen pipes the destructions of homes based on an intermittent non-reliable grid.

5. COMMON SENSE PEOPLE IT SHOULD STILL WORK. TESTING.. TESTING…

Please push. Help me get the word out on these difficult topics.

Game theory says, it takes a certain amount of people not caring if they get cancelled etc, risking their everything, for the whole system of cancellation to collapse. Use your influence in faith groups, friendships, family, work, political.

It is the SAME beast. Different heads. But the same beast. Understand that and we can win.
