For perspective, that is 8.5 new Shepard Energy Centre's worth of CC power alone in 14 years just to reach the Combined Cycle target. Shepard cost $1.4 billion, so about $12 billion.
At $1.5 per MW we are looking at another $6.3 billion for wind.
Throw in roughly another $1.5 billion for solar, Co-gen($2billion?), Simple cycle($2 billion?) and we start to talk about real money here...Looks like we've found the solution to our unemployment problems.
Alberta's got it's own New Deal!
