Enough with the excuses..........

Someone told me the other day that Alberta claims they cannot build any more wind farms in southern Alberta. The reason is that the existing grid cannot accommodate any more. Think about that for a second. Isn't that the most ridiculous thing you've ever heard?

Here's something else that bugs me about our electricity situation. On our electricity bills each month, we are offered the choice to spend an extra $12.50 on top of our regular charges for Green Power. This extra money helps pay for wind farms and other renewable sources that cost more than burning gas. Give me a break. Very few people are actually going to volunteer to pay extra so they can sleep better knowing they've bought green power. Don't give us a choice! Instead of charging a willing few $12.50 extra, spread it around to everyone - you'll have even more money to buy green power.

Maybe then we can afford to build those power lines that we need to support more wind farms.
