@@pambp5978 Is a wind farm that needs the turbines replaced every 20 years really a good alternative form of energy? One that kills hundreds of thousands of birds per year (many that are endanger species). That takes up large areas of farmland or wilderness? Maybe what we need is a pause to look into whether or not that is a good use of the land and resources. In some of the U.S. states (like Massachusetts and Virginia) they are cutting down forests to put up wind and solar farms. That is the height of stupidity that the so called green energy movement is responsible for. And while we are supposed to cut back on our emissions, China is building as many as 300 new coal fired power plants there and in other countries. Germany even shut down their nuclear power and went back to coal. Alberta isn't even a drop in the bucket on the world scale.
@@my3dviews upgraders and refineries require maintenance as well.. do you know how much agriculture land is used for the collection of o&g?

@@pambp5978 Yes, they require maintenance, but not total replacement. Entire wind farms are dismantled and rebuilt and some abandoned in disrepair. Quote: "I thought they were cutting forests on the east coast to use as bio-fuels, wish you all could keep your stories straight". It isn't about getting the story straight, it is just the facts about what is being done. You do realize that it isn't one or the other, but they do both. They do in fact cut down forests for bio-fuel and cut down forests for wind and/or for solar. It was left wing film maker Michael Moore that exposed the bio-fuel debacle in his documentary. Quote from American Thinker: Since 2010, over 5,000 acres of natural and working lands have been destroyed for solar development in Massachusetts, resulting in the emission of over half a million metric tons of CO₂- more than the annual emissions of 100,000 passenger cars,’ Mass Audobon [sic] stated in a summary of its study with Harvard Forest. ‘Under current siting practices, thousands of acres of forests, farms, and other carbon-rich landscapes are being converted to host large-scale solar,’ the report stated. End of quote. You can find other sites saying similar things if you search for it. Scotland and Germany have also cut down forests for wind or solar farms. Just do a search. Lots of info on that. Then there is this from the Virginial Government: A recent study found that forest and agricultural lands are the most likely land types to be impacted by solar facilities being built. The authors also found that over half of the acreage disturbed in Virginia for solar panels to date was previously forested lands. Dec 6, 2022 As for oil and gas taking up farmland. That is true, but once a well is dry, it is shut down and the farmland reclaimed. With wind and solar they would be permanent unless decommissioned. Oil and gas wells also take up far less land than they used to. Rather than one well per site, they can now drill horizontally from a single location rather than having several separate well sites. I have seen well sites with 8 or 10 wells in the area that would have had only one or two before. You would also have to compare how much land would be needed for wind and/or solar compared with the same amount of land needed for the equivalent amount of energy from oil and gas. A single gas well will provide way more energy than a single wind turbine, while both would take up about the same amount of farmland. Not saying that wind and solar can't have their place, but they certainly can't be the only forms of electricity generation, for the obvious reasons.

Maybe Alberta needs to look at vehicle manufacturing as an option. The car manufacturers might like the idea of being able to sell more cars without the insane restrictions.
You do know that auto manufacturers have all given EV dates by well before the government. Why would they build anything in Alberta. The power they need is expensive, thank you Klein, the road from suppliers is longer and you wouldnt let them build EV. Why would anyone build anything in a province with such a lack of vision?
Maybe Albertans needs to learn how to use the internet and find out this puts us behind most European countries and on par with China. Not to mention the government timeline lags behind vehicle manufacturers so Albertan's really will be have to start producing their own cars as the world has moved on.
Yeah Alberta should build some gas guzzling car companies right in the province. Can they find a way to get cars to run on coal?

I live on the US boarder a five minute drive to get my gas and diesel that has no carbon taxes on it, I’m saving over $30 per tank even with the exchange rate, and when I need a new vehicle I will buy it in the US.

Wait, so you are bragging about remembering one day of Grade VII science in which you learned that plants use CO2? It's December 22nd. The Min temp last night where I am was +7. Today it got up to +10. You understand that that is not normal for this climate region, right?
I was at a Toyota dealership on Tuesday, the wait for a Rav4 Hybrid is average 4 years and the cost up almost 10k from when I looked at them 2 years ago.
Take it a step more rediculous - try to power just trucks with solar or wind. It takes 10 solar panels in intense sun - all day - to move a Tesla Semi 1mile. If you want enough panels to charge it in 1 hour to move 1 mile that takes 100 solar panels. A long haul truck drives 800 miles a day. You'd need 80,000 solar panels in intense sun in 4 groups of 20,000 each to recharge 1 truck to go 200 miles to the next station. There are 3 million long haul trucks in the USA alone - total panels required 80,000 x 3 million = 240 billion. 20 times that for all heavy long haul trucks world wide 5 trillion. Then all the shorter haul heavies 10 trillion. Current production 1 billion annually. So that would us take 10,000 years.10x solar production 1000 years, 100x current production 100 years - just for trucks.
power station costs are just as expensive as fuel, but with the bonus of indefinite wait time. And by the time the vehicle purchase nears the point of where it might be paid off, is already outdated and trash as the battery cost is impossible to cover. fields of these cars are just abandoned and left to rot. EV's are the biggest scam.
This is false EV charging is less expensive per KM both at home and at charge stations. Speaking of, In Alberta home ownership rates are above 70% and home EV chargers are so convenient people will wonder why they ever visited annoying gas stations in the first place. There's nothing like waking up to a fully charged car with over 400km range that you spent 0 minutes waiting to charge.

Not to mention the prices are going to skyrocket double or tripple what they are now, simple law of economics, reduce supply, while demand is still high and prices increase.

Don't fact check.. a leader who promotes o&g telling you to buy a vehicle that has an internal combustion engine while putting a moratorium on alternative energy development isn't concerning at all.
@@pambp5978 Is a wind farm that needs the turbines replaced every 20 years really a good alternative form of energy? One that kills hundreds of thousands of birds per year (many that are endanger species). That takes up large areas of farmland or wilderness?
Maybe what we need is a pause to look into whether or not that is a good use of the land and resources. In some of the U.S. states (like Massachusetts and Virginia) they are cutting down forests to put up wind and solar farms. That is the height of stupidity that the so called green energy movement is responsible for.
And while we are supposed to cut back on our emissions, China is building as many as 300 new coal fired power plants there and in other countries. Germany even shut down their nuclear power and went back to coal. Alberta isn't even a drop in the bucket on the world scale.
@@my3dviews upgraders and refineries require maintenance as well.. do you know how much agriculture land is used for the collection of o&g? We are not moving away from o&g anytime soon but sustainability of a natural resource is necessary. I thought they were cutting forests on the east coast to use as bio-fuels, wish you all could keep your stories straight... Alberta needs to diversify.
@@pambp5978 Yes, they require maintenance, but not total replacement. Entire wind farms are dismantled and rebuilt and some abandoned in disrepair.
Quote: "I thought they were cutting forests on the east coast to use as bio-fuels, wish you all could keep your stories straight". It isn't about getting the story straight, it is just the facts about what is being done. You do realize that it isn't one or the other, but they do both. They do in fact cut down forests for bio-fuel and cut down forests for wind and/or for solar. It was left wing film maker Michael Moore that exposed the bio-fuel debacle in his documentary.
Quote from American Thinker:
Since 2010, over 5,000 acres of natural and working lands have been destroyed for solar development in Massachusetts, resulting in the emission of over half a million metric tons of CO₂- more than the annual emissions of 100,000 passenger cars,’ Mass Audobon [sic] stated in a summary of its study with Harvard Forest.
‘Under current siting practices, thousands of acres of forests, farms, and other carbon-rich landscapes are being converted to host large-scale solar,’ the report stated. End of quote.
You can find other sites saying similar things if you search for it.
Scotland and Germany have also cut down forests for wind or solar farms. Just do a search. Lots of info on that.
Then there is this from the Virginial Government:
A recent study found that forest and agricultural lands are the most likely land types to be impacted by solar facilities being built. The authors also found that over half of the acreage disturbed in Virginia for solar panels to date was previously forested lands. Dec 6, 2022
As for oil and gas taking up farmland. That is true, but once a well is dry, it is shut down and the farmland reclaimed. With wind and solar they would be permanent unless decommissioned. Oil and gas wells also take up far less land than they used to. Rather than one well per site, they can now drill horizontally from a single location rather than having several separate well sites. I have seen well sites with 8 or 10 wells in the area that would have had only one or two before.
You would also have to compare how much land would be needed for wind and/or solar compared with the same amount of land needed for the equivalent amount of energy from oil and gas. A single gas well will provide way more energy than a single wind turbine, while both would take up about the same amount of farmland.
Not saying that wind and solar can't have their place, but they certainly can't be the only forms of electricity generation, for the obvious reasons.
I cant afford to buy a car Danielle. I barely get by as it is. what do you tell those people that are one foot out the door to live on the streets. This makes me sooo mad.
There is going to be a huge market in used internal combustion vehicles.
Yeah bc someone who promotes o&g and puts a moratorium on alternative energy projects isn't concerning at all. O&g isn't going away anytime soon but Alberta needs to diversify.. resource extraction is what humans do.. sustainability and responsibility are important as well.
Only if the fuel is there to serve them...e.g rationing fuel or exorbitant pricing forcing more People to work from home.
The thing no one ever mentions is, what will happen to the price of electricity! Supply and demand, once demand goes up, so will the price, EV's won't be so cheap to drive anymore.
The other thing is road tax, it's in our gas price. Going to have a way to charge ev cars road taxes.
@@glen4407 I'm sure Justine Turdope will let them drive for free since they are saving the world!
Lots of people have mentioned that. The supply and distribution of electrical energy going forward (whether we move to EVs or not) is a significant issue that is not being addressed.

Maybe Alberta needs to look at vehicle manufacturing as an option. The car manufacturers might like the idea of being able to sell more cars without the insane restrictions.
You do know that auto manufacturers have all given EV dates by well before the government. Why would they build anything in Alberta. The power they need is expensive, thank you Klein, the road from suppliers is longer and you wouldnt let them build EV. Why would anyone build anything in a province with such a lack of vision?
Maybe Albertans needs to learn how to use the internet and find out this puts us behind most European countries and on par with China. Not to mention the government timeline lags behind vehicle manufacturers so Albertan's really will be have to start producing their own cars as the world has moved on.

Yes because becoming a landlocked country with no access to export routes that don't involve being fleeced by our neighbours would be so much better.
And just the cost to set up our own military alone would top $10bn a year. Now add policing, healthcare (which already costs $15bn) - without the health transfers from the federal gov't - and sundry other items.
Dream on. An independent Alberta would be an economic disaster. If we took Sask & Man with us it would be even worse. Learn some math. Read a book.
@jeelsvealnerve1163 Contradic yourself much? Alsaskatoba includes Manitoba. Therefore, access to Hudson Bay. We already have pipelines to the west coast, with more being built.
You need to take you own advice and read the information on how much Alberta alone contributes to the Canadian economy. We have billions of surplus every year. That number is only increasing, plus the billions of dollars in the Heritage Trust Fund.
Separation is inevitable, if you don't want to be a part of it, leave, go find some place better.
Merci Mme Smith! Je vais penser a demenager en Alberta
I live on the US boarder a five minute drive to get my gas and diesel that has no carbon taxes on it, I’m saving over $30 per tank even with the exchange rate, and when I need a new vehicle I will buy it in the US.
Premier Smith has my vote.
To see a politician these days speak with common sense ,it is absolutely mind blowing.
LOL, you found any yet? I'm still looking. No where near Alberta am I seeing it.
No doubt a low intellect leftist from the GTA.@@coolioso808
AND Mr.Trudeau will do all the conversion to electric by beating the snot out of those of us who don't have the funds to buy electric and have to use gasoline . Help people with the transition and have your infrastructure ready for electric or hydrogen but don't raise the price of gas to the unaffordable level . Electric vehicles means massive power requirements to all and a substantial increase for the cost of electricity .
When ev’s are truly a better option, customers will buy them without being coerced and bribed with their own money.
We just need to change to a common sense government
I think that this is not possible.
Exactly, we need to get rid of Dani Dum Dum and change to a govt with common sense.
And get out from under King Charles, he's the extreme behind the WEF
Is that you blackface? Any new scandals today?@@squatch545
Car parts for gasoline vehicles are going to skyrocket.
One person downvoted this video. It was Guilbeaut.
God bless you Danielle for your honesty a rare trait indeed for a politician
They don't want us to own our own cars
Maybe after the next election, things will change. I too am all for EV’s but it’s going to take some time. Plus, they’re not for everyone. I love my Tesla for around town, but if I need to travel far, I NEED a vehicle that has the range and the infrastructure to support it. The feds love feeding the pipe dreams to the urbanites and making everyone else pay for it.
Don't ever be forced to buy an electric car against your will. Everyone stood up and said "No we are not buying your electric cars". We have the power of refusal against dictatorship.
Well no one will force you to buy one, , as hybrids and used ICEs are exempt.
The enviroment minister only wants the enviroment in his bank account to be healthy! His cross world trips at business class speaks volumes!
Of course he is if he was truly interested in cutting emissions then he could be selling liquified natural gas to China instead of then starting up one coal fired power plant every two weeks There by cutting China emissions by half real results
I have never seen a charge station or an EV in Calgary.
Ya lots of em
I have seen the EV charging stations with no cars at them.
Plenty of EVs around. Cross Iron Mills has charge stations if you need to see some.
They are around. Just need to check for them.
They are both quite plentiful in Calgary.
Expect old Soviet style economics - pay for your car now, and receive it several years later. THANK YOU KOMMRAD TRUDEAU!
In Soviet Union you had to put down $100 and wait 10 years for a car. So this guy puts down his $100 deposit and the salesman says "See you in 10 years." The guy asks if he should come pick up his car in the morning or the afternoon. The salesman says," It's 10 years from now, what difference does it make?" The guy says, "Well, the plumber is coming in the morning."
I hope she never leaves us but I also want her to be prime minister. She is what logical and compassionate, competent thought looks like.
President of Alsaskatoba.
No one has any money after LIberal/NDP taxes and the cost of living crisis. Just ridiculous
There’s already a shortage of used vehicles in this country with an extra million people coming here every year
Anything they can do to make life more difficult and expensive they do it
There’s a way Danielle. Referendum on separation!
True leadership she going to make Alberta great again
Nice to ear straight answers from our government. At least someone with a head on her shoulders, thanks Danielle
too bad her head is as empty as the PMs. She is stunned and woefully incompetent.
Hands off my CPP, I don't trust her
My observation is, that not to many people remember from school that carbon dioxide in the air is beneficial and absolut necessity to sustain life on Earth.
Wait, so you are bragging about remembering one day of Grade VII science in which you learned that plants use CO2?
It's December 22nd. The Min temp last night where I am was +7. Today it got up to +10. You understand that that is not normal for this climate region, right?
I was at a Toyota dealership on Tuesday, the wait for a Rav4 Hybrid is average 4 years and the cost up almost 10k from when I looked at them 2 years ago.
She is the only politician in Canada that makes sence
This would be such a great country if all the other premieres were more like her
Welcome to Havana!
Justy's dream comes true - he'll be just like Dad (Fidel) was in the late 1950's
We need her in Federal politics
in the first 30 seconds she basically said she agrees with the trudeau liberals on everything.
HELL NO!!!!
@@TheInsaneupsdriverhell yes. ❤
What we need is a new Country, let's call it Alsaskatoba.
Is that you blackface?@@TheInsaneupsdriver
Try replacing the battery and then tell me how you like EV’s.
Take it a step more rediculous - try to power just trucks with solar or wind. It takes 10 solar panels in intense sun - all day - to move a Tesla Semi 1mile. If you want enough panels to charge it in 1 hour to move 1 mile that takes 100 solar panels. A long haul truck drives 800 miles a day. You'd need 80,000 solar panels in intense sun in 4 groups of 20,000 each to recharge 1 truck to go 200 miles to the next station. There are 3 million long haul trucks in the USA alone - total panels required 80,000 x 3 million = 240 billion. 20 times that for all heavy long haul trucks world wide 5 trillion. Then all the shorter haul heavies 10 trillion. Current production 1 billion annually. So that would us take 10,000 years.10x solar production 1000 years, 100x current production 100 years - just for trucks.
power station costs are just as expensive as fuel, but with the bonus of indefinite wait time. And by the time the vehicle purchase nears the point of where it might be paid off, is already outdated and trash as the battery cost is impossible to cover. fields of these cars are just abandoned and left to rot. EV's are the biggest scam.
This is false EV charging is less expensive per KM both at home and at charge stations. Speaking of, In Alberta home ownership rates are above 70% and home EV chargers are so convenient people will wonder why they ever visited annoying gas stations in the first place. There's nothing like waking up to a fully charged car with over 400km range that you spent 0 minutes waiting to charge.
Most of us will be walking!
First principle of democracy is : whatever the government says is ur duty to follow. Never question only obey the dictates of our leaders . Merry Christmas, all.
Has it not already been established that Canada is already beyond net zero? I know I have read that the number of trees we have in Canada consume more C02 than we emit from all sources. Just askin'!!
If that repot is ever found I'd love to read that
we're a forested nation of 35 million, 3rd biggest national land mass...more trees than anyone but russia....ya, we'll solve Earth's climate change crisis while Earth's CO & CO2 emmisions continue to multiply exponentially due to India China Russia the USA and about 180 other countries who are ramping up carbon and coal not slowing down....Classic Liberal science denial in Canada😂🎉
AB Premier Smith for Prime Minister!!!
President of Alsaskatoba.
If Danielle Smith wants more support from Albertans, she should tell the feds to stuff it. She could give auto manufacturers an incentive to build gasoline powered vehicles in Alberta for Albertans or buy from Mexico. Eventually, EVs are going to be chaotic. By the time people are completely fed up with them, guys like Trudeau and Guilbeault will have moved on.
Love from Saskatchewan Danielle we love you here
Danielle please ignore Ottawa as they ignore us…….time for a change !
I agree with our Premier 100%!
who mandates that you can only have ONE mode of transportation...from time in memorium energy, transportation and man's creativity has evolved and will continue to evolve. You cannot be serious that only one way will suffice and electricity is not the bee-all end-all....
Tyrants, dictators. Not free to choose.
I told my husband we need to be out of here in 6-8 yrs. We will pursue dual citizenship and slowly move back.
That'll never happen, or if it does, I can see the price of used ICE cars skyrocketing, as people will fight to keep them on the road forever.
It'll be like Cuba with the mismatch car parts.
@@lloydbond13 I was thinking the EXACT same thing. Which is fitting, given how Trudeau Sr. and Castro were buddies.
Thats literally what will happen. This is communism pure and simple. Canadians are too naive to see it.
Not to mention the prices are going to skyrocket double or tripple what they are now, simple law of economics, reduce supply, while demand is still high and prices increase.
Can’t even digest what gas prices will be. We’re f ed either way.
I know right, there already unafordable.@@belle190
Prices on used are crazy now, I'm seeing 2010 ford F150's that don't even run for 4-5 k ,and anything decent that runs and is safety inspected even from the late 90's is 10K up. I got a running 2010 truck in June for 6K did the work it needed for safety myself. I put a realistic value of 10k on it when done and could probably get more than that for it now if I wanted out before next June when it needs another inspection if I sold it.
And when they say we can’t insure gas vehicles.. then what? Does Danielle have the power to fight that? I truly hope so
Then we, the masses, start driving without insurance. They can't put millions of us in jail. The people in this country have to stop being SHEEP.
Daniel Smith is right ❤❤❤❤❤❤ Trudeau is on wrong side 😂😂😂😂
Trudeau has dreams , 1 zero emission 2 Sophie come home 3 cbc to tell its a battery powered private jet for Trudeau's globe hopping
Yeah another Jamaican holiday for that twerp courtesy of us tax paying sucker's
