Nothing projects a terminal deficit of imagination quite like "but baseline power!"
Grid-scale storage has never been cheaper at scale, and there's no floor in sight, nor much greater opportunity to build our economy with a local industry that directly consumes our own resources. Our grid layout could use another bridge or two, but is overall fairly resilient and stable, and smoothing out short-term fluctuations has never been easier. And we're even right next to a province going all-in on some of the most reliable wind energy on the planet.
The challenge isn't finding alternative solutions to more oil and gas -- it's picking one.
Didn’t you hear only conservatives are allowed to rip projects whenever they want, the liberals and ndp must faithfully follow every project to the end.

Go and ask Doug Ford, he seems to be proficient canceling contracts at the expense of hundreds of millions. [1] [2] [3] [4]
