Flooding shuts down major coal power station, leaving SaskPower scrambling to backfill its output and shed load internally

Flooding shuts down major coal power station, leaving SaskPower scrambling to backfill its output and shed load internally

Heavy rains in the Coronach area Friday night have resulted in the shutdown of the coal-fired Poplar River Power Station, just when high temperatures are putting pressure on SaskPower’s grid to keep everyone’s air conditioning running. The result is a 582 megawatt coal-fired power station went offline, and SaskPower is scrambling to meet demand. One of the things it is doing is internal “load shedding,” reducing power consumption where it can, so that other customers have the power they need.

Saudi Arabia is slashing oil supply. It could mean higher gas prices for US drivers

Saudi Arabia is slashing oil supply. It could mean higher gas prices for US drivers

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — Saudi Arabia will reduce how much oil it sends to the global economy, taking a unilateral step to prop up the sagging price of crude after two previous cuts to supply by major producing countries in the OPEC+ alliance failed to push oil higher.

The Saudi cut of 1 million barrels per day, to start in July, comes as the other OPEC+ producers agreed in a meeting in Vienna to extend earlier production cuts through next year.

Brian Zinchuk: Reliability of the electrical grid is everything. Without it, nothing else matters

Brian Zinchuk: Reliability of the electrical grid is everything. Without it, nothing else matters

We’re building the BHP Jansen mine, the biggest potash mine in the world. It needs 200 megawatts. What do we do if build a whole bunch of wind power, like Alberta’s 3,618 megawatts, and it drops to 2 megawatts? Sorry, boys shut her down. Good luck coming out tonight, or breathing when the ventilation loses power. The feds said we can’t use coal or gas anymore, so good luck.

Quick Dick McDick: The Jack All

You can’t say you’re a Saskatchewan farmer unless you’ve hurt yourself at least once with these infernal devices. Or as Quick Dick put it, “All of these items have their own unique way of landing you in the emergency room with the doctor asking you, ‘How in the hell did this happen?”

Conservative MP speaks of the glaciers that covered Canada, is mocked by Steven Guilbeault about “Shocking disregard for basic science”

Conservative MP speaks of the glaciers that covered Canada, is mocked by Steven Guilbeault about “Shocking disregard for basic science”

It wasn’t clear if the “shocking disregards of basic science” Guilbeault was referring to was the fact the Laurentide ice sheet, which was one to two kilometres thick across most of Canada for about 80,000 of the last 100,000 years, melted before cars and coal plants existed, or that he thinks mankind is the principle cause of climate change. Nor was it clear if the tweet was in retaliation for Dreeshen pointing out Guilbeault’s past actions as a Greenpeace activist. 

Equinor postponing Bay du Nord oil project off Newfoundland for up to three years

Equinor postponing Bay du Nord oil project off Newfoundland for up to three years

The premier of Newfoundland and Labrador played it cool Wednesday as Norwegian energy giant Equinor announced it was suspending plans to develop a $16-billion oil project in the province’s offshore.

Andrew Furey said the news that Equinor would postpone the Bay du Nord project for up to three years came as a surprise. But he said he remains confident the oilfield would still be developed.
