I think the timing of this event is perfect to demonstrate the issues we have to Smith and the UCP. As scary as it was it helps her immensely. We have unbalanced the system, obviously, and there is nothing more unhelpful than federal and provincial politicians trying to say it’s Smith’s fault for putting a moratorium on approvals, like Guilbeault saying if the $22billion worth of renewables was built there wouldn’t be a problem.
Which is as expected from such a person and so is nonsensical as all our renewables went to zero. If we had 60gw installed instead of 6, the math I learned is any number times zero is zero.
So Smith is on the right track, now we need to see what she does with it.
I’m pretty clear in that we don’t have the money to build 3-4 grids worth of generation to get one grid worth of power when we can just have one grid worth of reliable power.
Like we used to have.
As you point out, we had 3 of these events from 2006 to 2017, now they happen daily, and the price of power marches higher.
But of course renewables have nothing to do with any of that.
II don't understand why there is no conversation around real time power pricing for consumers? The only way to control power demand is to have consumers pay for the actual power price. This will also provide economics for home owners to install residential batteries and help stabilize the grid during these extreme conditions.

We live in a gaslighter’s dream world these days.

I look forward to your feedback.
