It is SO WEIRD how damning reports into government actions are always delivered to the government on Fridays of long weekends (or the start of spring break). Bizarre. Uncanny. open.alberta.ca/dataset/35ee... #ableg #cdnpoli

They’re building their own power plant. It won’t connect to the grid.

If the tech - a closed loop system - lives up to its promise, then not a lot.

Alberta, once a hotspot for renewable energy projects, sees investment 'plummet’ | The Narwhal Corporate investment fell 99% after Alberta’s pause on new renewable energy development, as the industry faces ongoing policy uncertainty

Alberta, once a hotspot for renewable energy projects, sees investment 'plummet’ | The Narwhal Corporate investment fell 99% after Alberta’s pause on new renewable energy development, as the industry faces ongoing policy uncertainty

The Alberta government destroyed freedom of information in the province when it rewrote legislation, so I'm picking up new skills they won't like 😈 I really don't like taking no for an answer.
