I’m still surprised when I hear Hatters say “we’ve got lots of gas.” The city of #medhat sold or abandoned 85% of its wells since 2017 because they were money pits. Gas for power plant is bought off the Alberta system. Has been for a decade.

Most farmers don’t want to be thanked for doing our jobs For me it’s more about our industry being trusted and respected enough to accomplish what we’ve been tasked to do To work with the land to grow and raise safe, healthy and affordable food #ThoughtsFromaFarmer – at Canada

This proposal was to fence a main public park in Lethbridge to deter encampments and drug use. #medhat
Council defeats motion to explore fencing around Galt Gardens by a 5-4 vote rejecting the official business motion presented by mayor Blaine Hyggen and co-sponsored by Deputy Mayor John Middleton-Hope. #yql #Lethbridge lethbridgeherald.com/news/le…

We’ll keep this first sentence short and sweet- the #Taber Transfer Station will reopen tomorrow (July 27th) to full service and regular hours. Thank you to the public who were so patient with such a large upgrade to our facility.

❗️ As we FORE-warned you last week, the walking trails at the golf course are being redone from July 6-17. We’re reminding would-be-walkers to find another path; this one's closed (plus there’s barricades- the universal construction symbol of “probably shouldn’t be in this area”)

Reminder do not park under overpasses in thunderstorms. Emergency crews cannot get through and you risk yourself and others around you, when visibility is really low that’s how big pile ups happen. #abroads #abstorm @511Alberta

Wow. Check out these photos from @norm_burr One of many areas in Calgary dealing with the aftereffects of that massive ⚡️ 🌩️ storm tonight - it intensified and became dangerous SO quickly. A reminder to always head indoors when you hear thunder. #abstorm #yyc

According to the My Lightning Tracker app, Calgary saw 500+ strikes of lightning w/that system that rolled through after 6 pm. I don’t recall another storm with that much activity over #YYC. ⁦@environmentca⁩ confirming reports of flash flooding and trees hit ⚡️#AbStorm

Earlier today when I checked, wind farms recorded $150 in sales to the grid over an hour. Currently sales total $400,000 this hour, with no variable operating costs. That averages to $200,075 per hour of mostly profit. Tell me again how renewables don’t have a business case.
At this moment 83.1% of Alberta's electricity is being produced by fossil fuels. Wind is at 22.4% of capacity and producing 8.4% of total generation, while solar is at 0.0% of capacity and producing 0.00% of total generation. At the same time we are importing 463 MW or 5%

Classic Alberta severe weather setup on tap for Saturday, with an approaching trough and strengthening jet stream over the province. Main area of concern could be where right moving storms move along a west-east QS front/dryline north of Calgary, where all storm hazards could become possible. #abstorm
