The polar vortex moved in and settled over most of the prairies and Northern BC and temperatures dropped like a stone. Maue checked in on “our Canadian friends” in Edmonton, reporting on Jan. 12^th at 10:30 reporting: “Bit of a struggle today with the temperature. Currently -48°F (-44 C) with a wind chill of -67°F (-55C).”

Rolling blackouts are hitting Alberta because the renewables portion of their grid (wind and solar) can’t function in this cold weather (wind) and at night (solar). If Alberta was 100% renewable right now, people would be dying. https://t.co/8uJnJUALFA
