https://saltbushclub.com/2020/12/19/whats-wrong-with-wind-and-solar/ Accepted by many -- not accepted by many. Trouble is many think you are not allowed to have a variance of thought - they will try to crush you with derogatory remarks.

Unobtainium , I like that !! Personally , I think wind and solar should come with warning labels. Warning !! Reliance on these products during periods of freezing weather can lead to severe trauma. Victims should be approached carefully to see if any skin discolouration has occurred. Look especially for signs of gang green !!

What about the gas wells that are freezing? Kinda self serving to ignore that!! Besides lots of winterized wind turbines and solar work just fine in cold weather, They have wind turbines in Alberta!!

The greens are the traitors of Canada. Their brains are so smooth that it shines like a diamond! The proliferation of the greens is a sign of lowering quality of Canadian education and Canadian identity. Canada exports natural resources. Period!

as you know the sun uses fusion rather than fission, either way the future lies here imo

Wind. Solar tidal and hydro. That is what will power canada in 25 years mostly

LOL, I doubt that. In the 80's everyone was saying we would be getting around in flying cars by the year 2010. In the 90's they were saying the polar ice cap was going to be gone by 2020. There is always a group of nut cases that are predicting a negative future in the hopes to either scare a few people or sound a bit intellegent to an uneducated group of followers (Liberals).

why would you say green power is a negative future? Wind is the cheapest and fastest growing source of generating capacity today.

And then there is a Reuters analysis on EV's and charging stations: https://graphics.reuters.com/AUTOS-ELECTRIC/USA/mopanyqxwva/ The market for VET will be here a lot longer than I will be.

Here is the kicker, If the planet does warm up and all the polar glaciers melt, then the release of all that fresh water into the Oceans will result in the slow down of the Atlantic Gulf stream, which will in turn cause bitterly cold winters in Europe, thereby increasing the price of TTF gas thru the roof !!

How does this debunk what I said, I said 25 years, that means 2047. By 2030 gas car sales will be banned. Also what will the demand destruction do to oil prices.

LOL, 2030 sales of gas cars banned. Is that like the sales of assault weapons, our the war on drugs???? There are more assault weapons made and sold than ever before. And drugs, not only are there more drugs since the war on drugs started, they are even legalizing it. Safe injection sites, free heroin......Ya, they'll never sell another gas powered car. Ha, ha, ha.

I wouldn't laugh so hard. Vehicle manufacturers are already preparing for that reality. https://thedriven.io/2021/03/03/no-future-for-ice-volvo-will-sell-only-pure-electric-cars-by-2030/

Ya, right now with me heating my home with electricity because we don't have natural gas is about 600 a month in the winter throw in a EV and I can't eat ???????

Waiting until the EV cars are everywhere, how much do you think electricity will cost then? When there is an electrical shortage. The greens always come up with solutions, too bad none of them are any good or well thought out.

France is one of the most heavy users of Nuclear in the EU. Germany has said NG is a 25 year transitoin fuel. Why does Canada need to declare anything? There are several European nations that are quite far along in using wind and solar. Provinces decide their energy policy, not the feds.

Oil companies are changing as well for example wcp is using co2 sequestration to reduce its carbon foot print. Oil bull will run for at least 3 years and maybe as long as 10

Are us using a heat pump? 2 months out of the year i spend 4-600 as well using gas. But very little other months.

No one said all that. But you probably sound like the a horse trader in the later 1800's/early 1900's.

Grids will be upgraded and many aspects of EVs such as 2 way chargers will actually help balance out load. Most of the load on EVs will be at night when demand is lowest.

I never said I worked at Walmart. Doesn't seem to stop you from jumping to all sorts of conclusions. But I understand you keyboard warrior aggressiveness comes from your sense of inadequacy. It's ok. You combat it by lashing out to distract from your weakness. Much like a bully does. The words...they hurt so much..so painful...so much anger...

Right now there is a power surplus in Ontario. Quebec has a lot more Hydro capacity as well. Home batteries can store power to charge at night and most cars will charge at night when demand is lowest. If demand is there, investments will be made on upgrades.

You clearly have not driven an EV. If you did you would instantly realize that ICE vehicles are on their way out.

P.S at the current price of gas my gas (1.50/l) the cost of gas for my ICE car is about 6-7x the cost of driving my EV.

In Germany I wonder how much the "Greens" support the import of Russian Oil & Gas - or is that verboten as well? Do we see any news irems in that regard? How well did their venture into wind&solar while shutting down all nuclear work out?
