Thank you.
With respect, the grid grew that much, but the consumption of every other source of energy also grew at the same rate. Now we're talking about displacing those energy sources while the power consumption continues to grow in Canada.
You have a bit of a riddle here about how you're going to meet that equation of growing energy demand while supposedly cutting down on the energy sources.
I think those are words in the air. I don't think they actually land for people who are actually looking at putting this equation together, with all due respect. We're talking about a lot of money.
To follow up on what my colleague Mr. Angus said, yes, about 35% of Alberta's capacity is supplied by wind and solar. That has meant a doubling in the cost of consumers' electricity rates in Alberta over the last decade. In addition, those provide only 7% of the energy in Alberta. The other 93% of power comes from hydrocarbons.
Here's a riddle for you. If we're going to have carbon capture, utilization and storage at a place like the Shepard plant in Calgary, it's going to require 30% of the plant's power in order to put the carbon underground. Therefore, we're going to have to expand that plant by 30%. Can you tell me how that's going to work as far as filling the grid goes?
