The Globe and Mail - Alberta to pause new solar and wind power projects for six months amid review of end-of-life rules: https://archive.ph/34fwm
Alberta announced Thursday morning that it was putting on hold all applications for wind and solar projects that would produce more than one megawatt of power, so it can review where they can be built and how they will affect the province’s power grid. The province also plans to consider rules to guide what happens to these installations when they reach the ends of their lives.
The province’s United Conservative Party government argues that a recent surge in wind and solar projects means policies need updating, but the industry says the move will spook investors, put jobs at risk, create chaos in Alberta’s regulatory environment and undercut economic growth at a time when global investment in clean energy is increasing worldwide.

Think of it as a “just transition”. Or “net zero”. Or waiting for “social license”. Or whatever euphemisms the regime media has used to attack oil and gas for years.

No, really, Alberta did this.

Urban pavement dwellers are mad that the concerns of farmers are being acknowledged. These heavily subsidized green energy debacles should at least have the same reclamation requirements that oil sands projects do.

They should just be placed in the city backyards. Let them have what they want. Take their land away & fill it with solar panels.

And make them live off the energy (or lack of it) produced by their boutique electricity plant.
All this bullshit to avoid the biggest point: Canada could easily meet it's power needs through nuclear power.
Imagine being a country that has some of the largest high-grade uranium deposits and not using it to provide your country with all the energy it needs. What a fucking failure of a country to have 100x the world average of usable uranium and not using it to sustain yourself. But what else can you expect from a cucked country.
Plus look at all the unpopulated, barren land we could store the waste in.
Makes a lot more sense than solar in a place that has like 6 hrs of daylight in winter.
Modern design reactors have very little nuclear waste compared to those built in the early 70s (and with designs from the 60s), and on top of that there are also nuclear waste burners that can be used to further use up that waste. This was even known about 50+ years ago but was deemed too expensive when compared to how easy and affordable it would be to simply mine new nuclear materials.
Nuclear isn't just the better solution, it's by far the most advanced in their solutions as well. Even coal produces more nuclear waste per kW produced than nuclear due to radioactive elements that are released as part of coal burning. Holding back nuclear is one of the best examples of the state maintaining problems so they can pretend to provide a solution that, as per usual, "requires" giving the state more power.
Funny how it always works out that way.
Could you still run nuclear plants after replacing all the Whites with sub-75 IQ morons? Maybe they're just planning ahead, in their own perverse way.
Run? Probably. Maintain? Probably not.
Fortunately for all of us, the elite do still need electricity. So its one of the sectors they are more likely to not let the diversity hires run entirely.
Until they get their own separate power grid of course, but at the moment its a lot harder to hide those away from annoying questions.
Let's look to the future. South africa.
Did the elites get their own power?
I'll see your 'unpopulated, barren land', and raise you a 'indigenous 2 spirit child grave reparation.'

This is great but really what they need to do is lower the O&G regulations and simply remove the subsidies to solar/wind. Then cut the red tape on nuclear.
They want to make energy unaffordable in any way they can.
If you're a good goy you can have a little energy. Just a little.
