Same thing for just Alberta - note the legend changes
This is just my back of napkin math, but Canada generates 69.5 TWh via natural gas...Alberta does 41.1 of them and the rest of the country does 28.4.
Canada generates 44.3 TWh from coal...Alberta is 27.4 of that and the rest of the country only 16.9
Those numbers are insane.
I'm not a huge fan of hydro as it has some substantial drawbacks, but it could also play a big role in flood resiliency. |
It really begs the question then, why our Federal policy makers are so fussed about this tiny 6% of the problem. Which can’t even be measured in global terms. Before you reply, remember, this is the same Minister of the Environment/Industry/Finance, who thinks we can transition from fossil fuels to renewables with no role for nuclear.
Where is Alberta getting hydro and tidal from?
