Alberta will be paying a premium for intermittent and unreliable wind and solar power. To prevent the lights from going out when there is no wind or sunlight Alberta will need to pay reliable gas powered generating stations to provide standby power. As Ontario has found out, all of this will cost a lot of money, much more than politicians and wind and solar profiteers are claiming. By the next Alberta election the folly of this plan will be there for the voters to see on their electricity bills.
