Can solar power essentially flatline for a whole day? It did in Alberta on Monday

Can solar power essentially flatline for a whole day? It did in Alberta on Monday

The Travers Solar Project in Vulcan County was touted by Alberta Energy Minister Brian Jean on Friday, Oct. 20 as the largest in Canada. It has a nameplate capacity of 465 megawatts, and frequently hits that number on sunny days. But that solar facility maxed out at 51 megawatts at 1:16 p.m., according to Dispatcho.app, which logs data from the Alberta Electric System Operator. That’s 10.9 per cent of its capacity. And most of the day, its output was much lower than that.

Danielle Smith and Alberta react to Supreme Court Bill C-69 decision, verbatim

“I hope that Ottawa will learn from this mistake. Now today, Minister of Environment and Climate Change, Stephen Guilbeault, the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, Jonathan Wilkinson, responded to this historic decision upholding the rights of provinces to develop their resources. They tried to position this as a win. It is not. They confirm their plans to bring legislation back to Parliament to amend it. Clearly, they simply aren’t listening.” – Danielle Smith

Royal Helium successfully completes facility commissioning and announces the start-up of the Steveville helium purification facility

Royal Helium successfully completes facility commissioning and announces the start-up of the Steveville helium purification facility

It was a transformative day for Royal, which drilled its first helium exploration well in southwest Saskatchewan in January, 2021. Oct. 12 was the day Royal Helium went from being a helium explorer to a helium producer. And after years of spending money in hopes an eventual return and two years, 10 months since it drilled its first well, that revenue will soon start to flow. It already has offtake agreements in place such that half of its helium production is already spoken for, and it will be used to send rockets into space.

BREAKING: Supreme Court majority rules against federal environmental impact law

BREAKING: Supreme Court majority rules against federal environmental impact law

“Even if this court were to accept Canada’s submission that the defined ‘effects within federal jurisdiction’ are within federal jurisdiction, these effects do not drive the scheme’s decision-making powers,” he wrote in the 204-page opinion released Friday.
Wagner went on to say that the effects considered in the legislation previously known as Bill C-69, which included a range of environmental and social factors as well as climate change, were “overbroad.” 

RCMP dispute photojournalist’s account of arrest while covering pipeline protest

RCMP dispute photojournalist’s account of arrest while covering pipeline protest

The RCMP say a photojournalist who is suing the force was not exempt from complying with a court injunction while reporting on protests over the Coastal GasLink pipeline that’s nearing completion in northern British Columbia.

In a response to a lawsuit filed by Amber Bracken and news organization The Narwhal, the Mounties say Bracken’s status as a journalist would not place her outside the scope of the injunction that prohibits interference with the pipeline.
