I guess I don't want to believe that there are people so incompetent deciding on funding this kind of crap. Aren't there some kind of laws that require the projected to be ok-ed by a neutral EE or something like that?
Oh, how quaint that you haven't yet fully come to terms with the
depth to which the money in the public purse is wasted...
Less than $0.04 per kWh?
Yeah, it has been pretty reasonable this summer, though it does fluctuate due to fuel costs, obviously, since most of our provincial generation is coal or natural gas. (Approximate generating capacity, in MW, from
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_generating_stations_in_Alberta : )
5695 Coal
4459 Natural Gas
1027 Wind
908 Hydro
451 Biomass / Biogas / Waste Heat
How do I move to Canada??
You go through the immigration procedure, just like anyone else.
We'd be happy to have you.
It does tend to be a bit easier when you are coming from another Commonwealth country, though there is no longer any special treatment / fast-track system.
Here in overpriced, under reliable South Australia (the Blackout State) were paying $0.30 per kWh.
That's the price of subsidised green power for you....
Yeah, no doubt!... You're getting screwed.
And to think that I find running my server room gets expensive when it spikes up to 10 cents or more...
Seriously, though, a huge chunk of the cost we pay here and elsewhere is tax. Someone is raking in a
HUGE chunk of change and it isn't the power generators and not usually the distributors...
$2000 depending upon who you ask
Yeah, that is going to be one a pretty pitiful return on investment for your power generating dollar.
Only a little over 2300 years to break even! (Not including installation, maintenance, etc. of course.)
this is getting far from ridiculus It's a scam. Is it possible that NO public authority in the US recognizes that?
A few of them understand, yet even they don't care.
They can make it look good to the sheeple in the constituency who have no clue...
"LOOK! We're doing GREEN stuff! Future HOORAH! Vote for US!!!"
