Nothing projects a terminal deficit of imagination quite like "but baseline power!"

Grid-scale storage has never been cheaper at scale, and there's no floor in sight, nor much greater opportunity to build our economy with a local industry that directly consumes our own resources. Our grid layout could use another bridge or two, but is overall fairly resilient and stable, and smoothing out short-term fluctuations has never been easier. And we're even right next to a province going all-in on some of the most reliable wind energy on the planet.

The challenge isn't finding alternative solutions to more oil and gas -- it's picking one.
