SaskPower’s VP May failed to respond to my followup points, so I’ve included her entire initial reply at my earlier post. I wrote a letter months ago to ask why solar power information on the SaskPower website is out of date and now wrong. The response was underwhelming.
The webpages remain out of date, one has information/analysis 12 years old on it. One talks about CCS, which I wrote about yesterday. Could SaskPower be focusing on the wrong “clean” technologies? Their website and lack of response to me would suggest so.
Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff 
Considering carbon capture has been a dismal failure in every nation that has attempted it I’m wondering why the Sask government would consider it at all?
Seriously, the UK has wasted $1.6 billion and is back to square one with it’s carbon capture scheme. Australia has wasted $300 million on an equally disastrous fantasy plan. ” The fact that European technology leaders in industry and government in Finland, Germany, England, and The Netherlands are concluding in rapid succession during the design phase that commercial scale carbon capture and sequestration is not economically viable…” examiner.com/article/europe-s-failures-jeopardize-illinois-carbon-capture-project
‘Renewables’ have been almost as much as a failure. Every Euronation (Eurination?) has backtracked. Ontario and the US have backtracked. China is backtracking.
For folks gripped in the hold of scientific concensus it seems to be lost on them the idea of technological practicality.
Oh and one more thing… when you say “Fucking disgraceful country today.” let me just say to you that you’re an idiot. Perhaps you’ve led too much of a cloistered life and don’t appreciate just how good a life you have here in Canada, or the great opportunities that are afforded you by living in this great nation. Perhaps you should spend some time living somewhere that doesn’t have our standards (like 90% of the world). You may learn how lucky you really are.
Just some words of advice from an immigrant.
I think your words of advice are about as useful or meaningful as shit on a shoe.
I appreciate the country I grew up in a great deal more than you appreciate, which is why I think voter suppression conspiracies perpetrated by those who support the ruling government, are beneath Canada.

And sorry blog readers for RedJefff, he won’t leave and thinks we care what lies he has to share with us.
And you, Redjeff and Klem, now claiming that the red herring created by the coal industry (remember “clean coal”? Of course you do, how could you forget.) is now a bad idea doomed to failure, is so very rich. It was never an idea backed by green minded people, certainly not to any extent where it would be funded over renewable energy projects and research.
Coal makes up the majority share of SK’s energy production. Cleaning it up using existing plants was too attractive a sinkhole for SaskPower to avoid, especially with a Conservative leaning provincial government in charge of it.
Let me start with I will agree with you on most of your points. However right or left leaning politics I don’t feel has anything to do with it. It was the Leftists that started spending the money in the first place. Also clean wind technology is also a farce looks good in the media though. More power is used in building and maintaining a large wind turbine than one will ever produce. The amount of energy required to smelt and form the steel itself is astronomical. CCT at least has the potential to take something harmful that we are creating anyway and use it to help extract the oil that is becoming short supply untill a better source is developed. Ps No I do not work for oil companies.
