At this moment 81.6% of Alberta's electricity is being produced by fossil fuels. Wind is at 31.4% of capacity and producing 13.4% of total generation, while solar is at 0.0% of capacity and producing 0.00% of total generation. At the same time we are importing 149 MW or 1%

The latest GHG emissions are out: 🇨🇦’s emissions are down from their peak and the economy is decoupling emissions from growth. Good progress, but decoupling will need to more than double to hit the 2030 target. Read our statement 👇#cdnpoli climateinstitute.ca/news/evidence-…

Favorite things to see nowadays are Venezuelans abroad telling the truth and facing publicly foreigners expressing uninformed opinions about Venezuela that do lots of harm from a foreign politics perspectice #FreeVenezuela

Will solar PV soon be the cheapest source of electricity in most places around the world? This Nature Communications paper says yes. Most surprisingly this is AFTER including short- and long-term storage costs for renewable energy sources. nature.com/articles/s4146…
