Misconceptions? Surely, you jest!

SaskPower’s blog speaks about “Misconceptions about wind and solar facilities”

Note:

Facing a groundswell of opposition to a proposed 200 megawatt wind project near Weyburn which would be built, operated and owned by Enbridge as an independent power producer, SaskPower posted the following on its corporate blog on Aug. 23.

That blog posting was then promoted via advertising on social media, including Facebook.

What the blog does not say is that Alberta’s fleet of now 47 wind farms, with a total capacity of 5,214 megawatts was producing 35 megawatts at 3:38 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 22, according to X account @ReliableAB. That’s after the recent addition of a new 466 megawatt windfarm which is being brought online. And 35 megawatts was 0.7 per cent of capacity at that moment, while 5,214 megawatts is nearly the entire Saskatchewan grid if every single generating facility was running full our, which never happens.

The ads below are not part of the original blog, but part of every Pipeline Online story to pay the bills. This is that blog posting, verbatim.

Germany: three killed and four seriously injured at diversity festival

At least three people have been killed and four are seriously wounded, German police have said, after an attack at a festival in the city of Solingen in the country’s west on Friday night.

Police said the weapon was believed to be a knife.

No one has been arrested and police said they had deployed a “large contingent” including a helicopter to search for the male assailant who fled the scene. Police declined to discuss a possible motive or speculate about the identity of the suspect.

Federal health minister Karl Lauterbach said he hoped “rescue teams can save the wounded who are still alive and that police can catch the cowardly and pathetic perpetrator”.

Regional premier Hendrik Wüst, who arrived at the scene early on Saturday, posted earlier on X that “All of North Rhine-Westphalia stands with the people in Solingen, above all with the victims and their families,” he said, expressing “huge thanks to the many rescue workers and our police who are in these minutes fighting for people’s lives”.

The attack happened at an event marking the city’s 650th anniversary and billed as a festival of diversity that began on Friday and was supposed to run through to Sunday. Around 10,000 people attended, many gathering around a stage with live music on the Fronhof market square in the city centre.

Most of those wounded are believed to have been attacked directly front of the stage, the daily Bild reported, adding that the man appeared to target the throats of his victims.

Eyewitnesses report “Arab looking man”, still at large.

One Flu Out Of The Wuhan Nest

Dr Steven Quay;

Finally, our peer-reviewed paper is published.

WIV created an undisclosed MERS synthetic virus and was swapping out receptor binding domains.

MERS is 30% lethal but, at least in nature, it fails to support human-to-human transmission.

Why is a #CCP supported lab doing this? […]

Remember, a key claim of the ‘Proximal Origin’ paper was that a lab would never use an undisclosed backbone for dangerous research.

Here is the proof that claim is wrong.

Housing Bust?

In an economy beset by exponentially rising debt, rising interest rates are a ticking time bomb. Higher rates force the marginal borrower to forgo purchases, while the marginal entrepreneur is forced into insolvency. This is particularly true for the Canadian real estate market, and it’s noteworthy that even the leftist media is starting to pick up on this.

Take a look at this housing development in Kitchener Ontario.…The project got city approval in 2020 and the first tower was supposed to be moving ready by 2024 but that didn’t happen. Instead only one of the four towers was started and it wasn’t finished. This project is one of more than 200 housing developments that went insolvent just in the last year alone that rate of insolvency is nearly 50% higher than the 10-year average.

August 23, 2024: Reader Tips

This evening, we slow things down and present this subdued documentary about William Blake, an Edwardian Photographer.

Do share your subdued or more vibrant news tips.


Finishing up my visit in NYC, I drove to Boston via this circuitous route. While walking around in Mystic, CT with my Vancouver friends, a man walked past and said, “I absolutely love your shirt!” It reads, “Proud member of a small fringe minority with unacceptable views”. He and his wife are retired NYC police officers. He was SUPER knowledgeable about the Truckers Protest, Pierre Poilievre’s infamous interview eating an apple, and a whole lot of other things going on in Canuckistan. Great fellow!
