Spice Up Your Life with Homemade Pumpkin Spice: No Bake Pie | SaltWire #shortsvideo #cookingshortsHow expensive is hard to guess at due to the vagueness of both the provincial plan and available federal data.
Days after Nova Scotia released its plan to meet national targets to be off coal by 2030 and hit net zero electrical generation by 2050, the council released its report, Implications for Atlantic Canada’s Economy in the Pursuit of Net-Zero Emissions.That was already vague on the cost of Nova Scotia’s energy transition before the provincial government announced the Atlantic Loop was dead. The estimates used by the regulator assumed the connection to Quebec’s grid.
However, the regulator’s estimates assume that Nova Scotia will get rid of coal by replacing it with natural gas plants. That’s never been part of Nova Scotia’s plan. Nova Scotia is going primarily with wind, which provides cheaper electricity but also requires a larger amount of backup infrastructure for when the wind’s not blowing.
“Nova Scotia and New Brunswick are expected to make significant investments over a very tight timeline, and they have small populations to absorb these costs.”
