Brian Zinchuk: On Aug. 17 Alberta’s now 28 wind farms combined were putting out less power than Boundary Dam Unit 3 with carbon capture
You would think if they just keep building more wind farms, as both Alberta and now Saskatchewan are doing, they should be spread out enough that if it’s not windy one place, there would be power coming from another.
And you would be wrong.
Sure, that might happen on an average day. But several times this year, as I’ve reported, it’s not windy in all the places Alberta has placed its 28 wind farms.

Brian Zinchuk: SaskPower just signed a massive carbon leakage interchange agreement with the States, and Estevan will suffer the consequences
We have hundreds of years of coal reserves in Saskatchewan. We have the technology to capture the carbon, and sulphur dioxide, if we implement it. We have dramatically reduced other forms of pollution from burning coal. And we can do all these things continually, reliably, and cheaply, wind or no wind, day and night, 24/7/365.
Brian Crossman: Making knives, or “Let’s play Forged in Fire!”
It reminded me a lot of my days with a rig crew, getting cleaned up at the end of the day, joking around and just enjoying the feeling of getting through the day with nobody getting hurt.
