I read that, I find it difficult to believe, is all.
But okay, we'll take them at their word. The last gas plant I did work on was Chinook in Swift Current.
350MW plant that came in under budget at $605M completed in 2019 ($680M budgeted).
It would take 42 of them to do 15GW.
They'd use larger units and so on, so not a completely fair comparison, but this was also done before the supplier carnage and run up in inflation.
It just strikes me as complete pie in the sky thinking.
Alberta total gross generation is 23GW.
Current DCR is 471MW

Good fuckin' luck 
When was the last time the conservative party supported environmental legislation, let alone pass any, or sign on to any environmental treaties?
Their environmental policy now is "drill baby drill or you're a communist".
Their platform now can be reduced to "starve the beast", as in tax cuts, service cuts, and privatization. That's it.
If you end up there, look at the Quispamsis area. It's near the river and freshwater beaches. There's a seasonal ferry at Gondola Point to get to the Kingston Peninsula. Very pretty area.
It also doesn't get the fog and mist that Saint John proper gets frequently.
I'm in Moncton. It's about 20kms from really nice salt-water Parlee Beach provincial park. The water is warm enough for swimming most of the summer and the beach is sandy.
It's also close enough for day trips to PEI.
I recently moved back to NB from the Prairies. No regrets.
It's tough finding a doctor, but no different from just about anywhere else in the country.
II can't hear the term 'super massive black hole' without also hearing this opening riff.

I'd be pretty surprised if he tried for a comeback at this point.
He's got plenty of baggage that he knows will be dug up both in a leadership contest and in the general election.
Stranger things have happened though.
Carney has close to a 35 point lead with moderate conservative voters over PP. He also does reasonably well with some moderate NDP, Bloc and Green voters.
PP only polls well with the hardcore CPC base. That makes for a pretty hard ceiling on his potential seat count.
National polling shows the Liberals and CPC relatively close, but that doesn't translate into similar seat counts.
The CPC tend to run up a cricket score in Alberta, Saskatchewan and some rural seats, winning up to 70% of the vote or more, while in some urban ridings they're the third party with 20% of the vote.
Took the Lightning across the province to visit my girls for the weekend.
Temperature dropped more than expected, and I got to her place with 5% range left.
Left it plugged in overnight to the 120V portable charger and woke up to 5% charge still showing. Uh oh.
Temperature got to -24C last night and is still at -19C. It's up to 10% range now, right on the verge of making it to the closest fast DC charger.
I should have charged twice instead of my usual once given the temperatures. That would have left plenty to reach the DC charger to top up before heading home.
Lesson learned.
