At this moment and current capacities, Alberta would need:

OR
- 301727 more wind turbines. (75 per day by 01-Jan-2035)
OR
- 256656 more acres of solar panels. (658092 NHL ice surfaces)
to replace all carbon based generation.

I don't make a lot of comments on here but this is bullshit.
Being asked to save electricity in one of the coldest places on that planet that also happens to sit on one of the largest energy supplies in the world is insane.
We should be one of the wealthiest most advanced societies in the world instead we are all sitting in the dark with our fingers crossed that heat stays on.
We've gone backwards not forwards.
End of rant.....
Alberta, open pit coal mines are back. Great interview w High River Mayor Snodgrass about why they're a terrible idea for our water, why it makes NO financial sense & why we can't trust the govt or the AER to act in our interests. This is trouble. Pls RT edmonton.ctvnews.ca/mobile/video?c…
When I started in this career 12 years ago I figured full driverless autonomy would come at some point, never would have guessed it would be here this soon as a full size scalable option.
Alberta, our govt has just quietly let foreign coal-co Northback/Benga REAPPLY for coal & water rights @ Grassy Mtn, headwaters of Oldman watershed in a critical drought. They'll take drinking & ag H2O, ruin the rest & leave us a huge $$ mess. Info: surl.li/ltvtd Pls RT
