Fool me once…

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me day after day after day….? Alberta’s wind power flatlines again this week, hitting 1 megawatt out of a capacity of 4748.

Watch for yourself – I’ve been watching for the past hour as wind has stayed in the single digits. And Alberta’s about 500 megawatts short of record demand. I wonder if they’re be another grid alert tonight?

Edmonton Sun columnist Lorne Gunter quoted the Pipeline Online story regarding wind’s failure in Alberta on July 16 in his July 19 column.

Drill, baby, drill: Trump promises energy dominance, but lower energy prices

The last time, that didn’t work out so well for Saskatchewan oil and gas. The depths of the seven year oil downturn which devastated the Saskatchewan oil and gas industry included all four of the Trump years the last time around. While oil low prices benefited consumers and large portions of the economy, they also had a significant impact on Saskatchewan oil companies and particularly oilfield service companies. Activity levels, vendor rates, employment and employee remuneration were all deeply affected by the low energy price policies.

This is NOT an endorsement of Biden by any means, but simply a reflection on what did happen during the last Trump presidency.
