What You Really Need to Know about Renewable Energy (That the Pembina Institute Won’t Tell You) Parts A and B

In Part B, we discuss Pembina’s inept analysis of the simple but critical concepts of “base load” and “baseload generation,” and we show that renewable generation is the cause of—not the solution to—the increasing need for more flexible (and more expensive) generation in Alberta. We explain why Pembina’s views on these topics are in direct conflict with sound engineering and economic principles. We briefly introduce Pembina’s seriously flawed analysis of the roles of baseload generation and renewable generation in an energy emergency event that occurred in 2017.
