BREEDERS’ SECTION
Cannot
afford
Cont’d from Pg 14
Price out a
solar or wind
power system for
your own home
and see the costs
and reliability
and you will see
that in most cases
that it will need
grid backup and
people cannot
afford to install
them.
During the -30
C weather in
December 2022
Alberta was on a
Level 2 power
alert and was
almost looking at
30 minutes blackouts
throughout
the province.
The total power
of Wind power
and Solar power
at that time was
less than two per
cent, so do your
homework and
see this does not
work! This comes
from Alberta
Power reports.
Now I see lots of
hype about heat
pumps,
Geo Therm
heat, have you
ever talked to
people that put
them in. The electrical
costs put
your bill through
the roof. Do some
research before
you believe all
this hearsay!
Write your
MLA, MP,
Premier and
everyone else
that you can and
make a difference.
I do, and
talk to them, all I
hear is no one
complaining,
come on, get real,
do your part and
make a
difference!!

ECA Review reader Bill Salkeld sent in this photo of a mama deer and
two fawns settling into his yard the weekend of March 9. Even if wild
animals seem to enjoy hanging around town, biologists usually warn
against treating them like pets: don’t feed them or try to pet them.
