You’re absolutely right. Yes, AI is very energy-intensive, and we want some of that to be done with Canadian electricity, with Canadian energy, but the more we have these policies that mandate other parts to be electrified faster than they would be otherwise, the harder it is on the grid, the bigger the stress on the grid.
Then, of course, as you mentioned earlier in the question, there’s the issue of intermittency. When you plug in renewables, there are times when they work—and that is great and they are very low cost—but you always need some backup.
When you look at energy in the street, most people don’t talk about renewable versus non-renewable. They talk about baseload versus intermittency. Most of the renewables right now, unfortunately, are intermittent sources of energy, but there are other sources. There’s nuclear. There’s hydro. There’s also, of course, oil, gas and coal that exist, which are baseloads, and these remain an important part of Canada's energy grid.
