As winter descends on Alberta I can only shake my head in awe at the idiots that voted in the NDP. This morning it is -18, it is still dark, and there is no wind. Can you imagine if we actually had to count on wind and solar electricity to heat our homes as the Leapers propose. I am thankful to the pioneers of this great province that developed the coal powered electricity that runs my furnace fan and lights my modern LED fixtures. Thank goodness for the brave wildcatters that found the vast natural gas reserves that fuels my gas fireplace and high efficiency forced air furnace.  By all means we should work towards improving efficiency and adopt the best technology. But we live in a harsh climate, we need fossil fuels to make it habitable.
