Definitely, however how long does construction take? Add to that, all the preliminaries to get to the point of shovels in the ground. Even if the process started now, it might be 15-20 years or more, before one watt of power is produced. Crime Minister Castreau’s illegal (per the Federal Court) law requires the elimination of ALL fossil fuels in electrical production to be eliminated by 2035, barely 11 years from now.
I believe that Castreau takes this personally. Remember, when his (supposed) father, Pierre Trudeau brought in the National Energy Program, Ralph Klein, then Mayor of Calgary and eventually Premier of Alberta, made the famous comment, “Let those Eastern bastards freeze in the dark,” by cutting off all oil going East.
Ralph was so ticked off because it destroyed Alberta’s economy. Thousands of drilling rigs packed up and headed to the US. Houses in Calgary that sold for $120,000 before the NEP, could be purchased for $20,000, after the NEP! It took years to recover.
I believe that Castreau, being the 51 year old, with the personality
and MATURITY of a pre-teenage girl, is still p!ssed off that a Westerner would DARE to stand up to him, and DARED to stand up to his (supposed) father.
For True-dolt and his communist Minister of Environment and Climate Change of Canada, Steven Guilbeault, it is PERSONAL! (And, FWIW, it is PERSONAL for me, which is why I write:)
TUCK FRUDEAU!
CANADUH OUT OF ALBERTA!
ALBERTA OUT OF CANADUH!
Marc Lalonde, energy minister of the 1980’s, admitted the NEP was done to punish Alberta. In my books, Albertans should never have forgiven the federal government and remained permanently hostile to the country. The NEP cost Alberta $67 billion dollars.
I know I am.
In Canada, electric utilities are provincially regulated, but nuclear energy is Federally regulated.
So the Fed Gov can block this forever, which it would.
