Re: Solar energy set to shine in greener Alberta

Just watch the cost of electricity go up in Alberta
Keeping the people shackled by debt is the progressive way

Can't be any worse than what Ralph Klein did to Alberta energy production. He sold off government owned utilities for a song and then watched as electricity rates doubled - the exact opposite of what he predicted.

The perfect solution for Alberta. The province has huge sources of solar and wind energy. What better way to replace the declining petroleum industry than with a clean source of energy?

Alberta's natural gas is declining?

This rat isn't leaving the ship until the furnace doesn't work. With 12V power you can fracture water (melted snow) into gas that 'is useful in providing heat. HHO generation and the 'dry-cell is the most popular model at this time.

Perhaps high rises and rooftops of houses will be draped with solar panels. I could get comfortable with that. 180 octane fuel for the former gas-guzler

Rookies. the hill behind them should be re-sloped and it is used as the base and each panel shout tilt 20deg to the east and swing 20 deg to the west as it follows the sun. Also missing is the sweeper that removes dust during the rain and snow during the storms

We should be designing and buil;ding and exporting the panels to Central America and they can supply the country and South America would be their place for expansion.

Drill holes should get warmer as they get deeper, that mean the heat could be tapped of local consumer use to eliminate their need for more expensive products.

Re: Solar energy set to shine in greener Alberta

Solar wind and oil are needed at the moment however even more diversification
of the economy is a must. Actually some things in Sask that Wall is doing are good
he does have Sask's interests at heart in most cases no one is ever a hundrend

Wind is found in mountain passes rather than the middle of a wheat field, and it is constant through all 4 seasons. They still need to make the blade tips visible to the birds. Trailing thin ribbons should fix that issue. Grease from oil is the most important product. Plastics and paint can be made from organic materials and gas and other fuel could be NG engines that burn hotter so they are more efficient

Yeah well idiot they have solar farms around here with 1000's of panels... They go days without being swept off after a snowfall. Government own by the Province of ONterrible.

Work under "light" snowfall.. :roll:

Eastern Ontario's snow falls are anything but light.

What's funny Cannuck, you claim you didn't vote Dipper in Alberta, yet every policy Notley comes out with, you seem to defend.. you're the biggest Dipper and Hypocrite on this forum.

That's only because you don't understand the difference between "defending Dipper policy" and "making fun of social conservatives". That's ok though. In this case, the move to solar power stations began under the Conservatives so it isn't really a "Dipper policy". You'd know that if you were well read.

Re: Solar energy set to shine in greener Alberta

Heh.

Broomer.

Hehehe...if you read the link, solar panels actually work better in snowy areas due to the reflection of light. But give the Broomster some slack, brooms are somewhat hi-tech given his skill level.
