It seems that forecasts suggest oil demand will increase world wide until 2030, and then start falling off, down to single figures by the end of this century. Advances in alternatives are actually coming faster then expected, and particularly, at less cost then expected. We are not there yet, but one sees glimpses of it. I know of one Lockheed Martin plant near my condo in Florida that covered the carports for employee's cars with solar panels. One can see it from the road, and I would not be surprised if the roof of their 1950's building was also covered. Look at all the alternative energy, both solar and wind, that the Hutterites have on their colonies in Alberta.It is a report of the largest solar installation in western Canada, which now produces 25% of Alberta's solar power.
Screw them and their tags..
They can never get massive horsepower out of solar, not the kind of horsepower to run everything. Not going to happen.Look at a company like Tesla, great cars, electric powered, they can never make enough electricity out of solar to run cars like that for everyone, not with current technology. They still need massive amounts of power, OK so coal is out, it comes to natural gas power plants, is that any easier on the environment?
Her response was in reference to his saying that he would be laying off staff as a result of the minimum wage increase.
Years ago one of our co's did lot's of fed. contract work, it was strictly piecework. One day the secretary was aghast, stating I'd, "made 3000 dollars today, in ONE day!". I tried to explain that I'd actually made about 300 bucks Gross, before taxes, stating the labor, transport and materials cost(not a small item); and also it takes me minimum 3, more commonly 6-7 months to get paid and meanwhile I have to pay for the labor, transportation and materials at the end of the month. She couldn't see past the gross and didn't seem capable of understanding expenses.In my past experience dealing with gov't employee's that seems to be the norm. All they know is their cheque shows up every second tuesday like magic, they deserve a raise every 6 months and banked sick days are paid holiday days to be used whenever they want. When they read in the paper X company grossed X billions last year, they think that one person Made that much and must be punished for it because they should be paid the same.And:One in Four of these tax fed people make up the labour market in Canada. In simple economics one quarter of the labour force in Canada lives off three quarters off the real labour force. And this one quarter make a lot more money and benefits than the people who have equivalent employment. That sounds facetious, it's not. And that my friends is how the libs and dips get elected.

A pause for reflection . As Harper stood down yesterday , he resigns at a time when this country is at a economic standstill . The new regimes would blame It on the right but so far the left has taken us into the crapper in record Time . Harper proved there is no use electing a changer in a soviet republic . Between Notley and girly boy we are heading back to 1950 s standards . Recessive depressive will be the atmosphere for many years . I am afraid history will prove Harper to be the best PM in The last and the coming 100 yrs. I know I'm right because every Commie media rag is bad mouthing Steve , he must have been great for business . There is one thing for sure your kids , or their kids will never do as well in this country as You have ! I hope they have a big party for him in Cowtown. I know Today there s a big parade in cowtown for that --- Trudeau . Maybe one of the Edmonton floats will run him over . You can only hope .
