cool man . Im out doing Thanksgiving duties but I ' ll be back balling tomorrow . I ' ll add you too homes <| sep |> LOL , welcome to the Orwellian planet of the NDP in AB . The past was erased , the erasure was forgotten , the lie became the truth . The NDP created a corner , and backed themselves into it . How ? 1 The obliged all coalfired electricity generatorsthese companies also provide power from gas and renewables to withdraw from contracts between them and the provincial govt . Under the contractr , the companies were due to be reimbursed about $ 2 billion . The govt was unaware of their liability because they are morons , failed to read their own contract , and decided to sue the power suppliersall of them . They are going to lose , and consumers and taxpayers are going to be on the hook . 2 . The Notley government has announced that all coal producing plants must close by 2030 . That si no problem for most of them , but for 3 or 4 that have recently built planst with provincially issued operating licenses extending far beyond 2030 , they are going to require the govt reimburse them for both the stranded asset capital cost , and return on their investment due to govt action . 3 . Notley , in the most bizarre demonstration of wholesale ignorance , blithely stated that she expected AB power suppliers to jump on board the bandwagon by investing in AB and building new plants to replace the plants she had just legislated out of existence , and without any compensation offered . The producers have all said , ' are you fucking kidding ? Pay up , because nobody is going to invest a nickel until the outstanding invoices are closed '. 4 . Now Notley is supposedly capping the retail cost of powerat a rate roughly double what it is today , and subsidizing it with money from taxpayers . until some mythical new system arrives and some new investors with billions of bucks are found . The call has gone out for rich and stupid companies . Meanwhile , why would any company inves in Alberta in the face of high and uncertain power supplies and prices ? It is a wholesale clusterfuck , and entirely unnecessary . One can only wonder if the big brains in Notleys office have been studying the Ontario playbook on how to destroy your own economy .
