where wind is 10% of it's max capacity, and 1% of total provincial generation, once coal is gone there is a plan for baseload, right? I mean, we aren't just going to expand wind capacity and pray for wind, are we? Someone thought this through, didn't they?
Most of our coal plants were going to shut down anyway due to the 2012 Federal GHG standards for coal plants. Natural gas will take a big part of it with hydro, biomass and wind with a small amount of solar.
