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.
