Curtis Wilken: “what do you propose man. Freezing to death in the winter. Wind and solar wont cut it during the winter. Would you prefer people freeze to death?”
No, don’t freeze Curtis. Wind and solar work better than gas sometimes in the winter, it’s true. As does a public utility instead of what Alberta did.
How about we run the coal plants from November 30th to February 28 each year, and renewables the other 9 months?
“Saskatchewan in total isn’t even a blip on the radar in terms of world emissions.”
In total we’re a blip, but per capita we’re the wurrrrst. Shameful really. Do you know what it’s like to be the worst in the world at something important?
Curtis Wilken:
“Jon Klein depends on your definition of important is.”
Everyone not dying early, unable to have kids who can have kids, that’s important to every culture on the planet. If you don’t recognize that as important, you’re an extremist like a super-villain from end-of-the-world movies.
“Going broke to make zero impact isn’t a good plan either.”
Then don’t have that plan, man!
“The plan is to go nuclear.”
Oh, so you are on team Go-broke. Nuclear is how to go broke, after at least 10 years of planning and construction instead of installing solar panels, wind turbines, geothermal heating and power, and batteries next year and each of the next 10 years instead.
“I’d back that more than littering the countryside with solar panels and wind turbines.”
Why do you want to go broke in 10 years with nuclear instead?
“Everyone wants things right now….the plan is there, so it makes zero sense to spend a pile on any other renewables.”
It makes more sense to spend less and get more, I think. Speaking of plans, why is the current nuclear plan of the NDP and the Sask Party okay, but the old plan to ‘reduce emissions by 20% by 2020‘, or ‘Be 50% renewable at SaskPower by 2030’ no longer the plan despite Bad Wall saying his party would get it done? Scott Moe won’t, he’s a failure and planning to fail harder than anyone has ever failed before by rebuilding coal after 2026.
“Invest that money into nuclear.”
Team Go-broke = Team nuclear. Slowest to build, most costly to build and run, and clean up.
