Why do they create a gap that pushes up wholesale electricity prices for everybody?
1:48
This meta data center in particular came in kind of before this new policy is coming out.
1:54
It's actually currently in draft.
1:56
But essentially, you know, this is the amount of power that the Alberta government said that there was sort of spare on the grid.
2:03
And this new power plant is going to kind of provide that power.
2:07
But as I mentioned a few years later, this bring your own generation policy that Alberta is putting in place, it's currently in draft.
2:14
But if it does move forward as expected, it would leave a gap of around three years where projects could do exactly the same thing, build the data center and then build the power plant a few years later.
6:26
Is there any changes to the bill that you might make
7:45
Talk to us a little bit about the decision he has to make there and why he ultimately refuses.
7:51
Well, the character, the Prussian...
7:57
Captain, I suppose.
7:59
Was he a major? I'm not sure.
8:01
I can't remember whether he was a major or a captain, but he had been Major Bush.
8:08
Yeah, it was a major.
8:09
And he had been an advisor to the Confederate Army in America, and he managed to get away from America.
10:17
go about crafting this book and writing this book to make it all seem very believable?
2:25
What kind of steps have to happen to put this into play realistically?
2:30
Yeah, and, uh, just to, uh, speak on the strategy specifically, you know, it's, it is ...
2:34
It's called a strategy, but it's really a discussion paper, uh, as, as we heard from that quote there, you know, figuring out what it... are those kind of immediate actions that are required.
2:44
Um, and there's...
2:45
What's re- really interesting about this announcement is, uh, it's, it...
2:48
There's that doubling the grid, you know, doubling the, the supply of electricity, but also there's a significant increase, um, in use, of course, of electricity, uh, that that needs to meet, and that means, you know, connecting more electric vehicles, um, switching, uh, homes over to electricity instead of, uh, gas or other fuels.
3:07
And so, yeah, there's, there's ...
5:26
And so where do you think the biggest challenges will be in order to try to make this happen?
