Trump spending $1 billion to cancel a wind project that would provide electricity for hundreds of thousand homes is truly hard to believe. If there is a logical explanation that makes any sense I'd like to hear what it is. Also, it is truly a shame that Alberta is doing everything it can to be MAPLE MAGA. Following in the footsteps of the big orange turd is not a formula for success.
Alberta’s provincial government resists common sense green energy initiatives because the UCP is a wholly owned subsidiary of US oil interests.
Even Texas, the American state Alberta Conservatives spend every day wishing they could be, has invested heavily in renewables on the down-low.
Daniele Smith can’t stop the rest of Canada from doing the right thing, escaping oil’s filthy grip as we save money and lighten up just a little on the environment.
Gee, I wonder where the electricity is going to come from to power those new data and AI centres Alberta is dreaming about. Maybe you only get out what you put in?
Just a thought . . . If birds can fly through the trees or in flocks of thousands without crashing, then how on earth are birds getting knocked out of the air with wind turbines. Just saying . . . Old Donny boy say there are lots of dead birds laying on the ground under these generators.
I have worries about Trumps followers in this world, not to mention his staff of ‘ring kissers’.

You don’t even have to agree with the policy to see the outcome.
Cancel a project → investors pull back → capital moves.
That’s the part people miss.
Money doesn’t argue politics... it relocates.
Fantastic news for Canada & Canadians!!! Elbows UP!!!!!

Funny thing… markets don’t care about ideology.
Texas didn’t “go green” because they hugged trees... they followed the money.
Alberta used to lead in renewables deals. Now investment is down 99%.
That’s not strategy. That’s self-inflicted.

That’s the real question, Jim.
AI and data centres don’t run on wishful thinking... they need massive, reliable power.
The places that win this race will be the ones that build more capacity, not less… from every viable source.

Fair question Vinny.
Bird strikes do happen with turbines...
but the data shows they’re a relatively small source compared to things like buildings, vehicles, and even domestic cats.
Like anything, it’s about mitigation and smart placement… not all-or-nothing thinking.
