I'm one of those pesky holdouts. Do I want the absolute clowns at the head of NB Power having real-time access to my energy consumption? Absothefucklutely not!
Every "development" from nbp over the last decade has turned out to be a grift. They have wasted tens - maybe hundreds of millions of grifts, many millions more on funding dictators, and BILLIONS sunk into our #nuclear plant because they wouldn't listen to the experts about maintenance.
Take for instance Joi Scientific - the "perpetual energy" company nbp partnered with in order to buy yachts for conmen. Or how about the not one but TWO companies they spun up to "build" #smr (small modular nuclear reactors).
Buffoons!
There was of course the deal with the dictators of Venezuela to run our #HeavyFuelOil power plant on some proprietary product on a 25 year agreement, rather than invest in renewables.
nbp doesn't own a single windfarm, and has gone out of their way to make it harder for wind project to take root.
Losers!
Despite this, we have about 400MW of wind online - the majority of this has local #Indigenous groups as the majority investors.
nbp keeps fighting in court to extend the life of our #coal buring power plant (!!!) past 2030. And losing.
nbp is absolutely desperate for money and the government board is actually doing a pretty good job of protecting the citizens by constantly denying nbp's rate increase asks. There is NO WAY they are not going to sell our data to anyone who will give them a nickle.
Day after day, year after year, we not only let these incompetent and dangerous people poison us and waste ungodly sums of money... we're paying them millions of dollars to do so.

Tantramar council turns down call to officially oppose proposed natural gas power plant
#NBPower announced in July that its Renewables Integration and Grid Stability project would be built near Centre Village. Since then, many residents and environmental groups have been vocal in their opposition, but their municipal council won't join that opposition.

🚨ATTENTION NEW BRUNSWICKERS🚨
#NBPower is fast-tracking a #NaturalGas #PowerPlant in a marine protected area of #Tantramar.
We have only until August 1, 2025 to submit comment. Please do so. You may use this if you don't know what to say:
I am but one of many New Brunswickers demanding an END to fossil fuel use in our energy mix. There are much, much better alternatives out there.
For example, of instead investing in gas and unproven SMRs, we could easily add more wind, backed by battery storage. We could do it with Canadian companies & labour.
NB Power's initiatives are harming New Brunswickers by polluting our communities, endangering and damaging delicate natural ecosystems and protected species, and wasting our tax dollars on scams like Joi Scientific, SMRs, and decades of fossil fuel lockin.
How many windfarms does NB Power operate again? Zero.
We say NO NEW FOSSIL FUEL INFRASTRUCTURE!

#NBPower is now circling the drain. This is what decades of abuse of power and lack of oversight bring. This is why public utilities can't be for-profit corporations.

Don't get me started on the insane path that #NBPower is dead set on maintaining - wasting our time and money (that we "don't have") on the industrial power equivalent of crypto scams, with bonuses all around.

I went for a short walk in my happy place today, which just happens to reside near our main provincial energy corridor.
One of 10 turbines from the #burchillWind project from #SaintJohnEnergy on the left, Coleson Cove #HFO burner by #NBPower on the right.
Burchill is #nb's newest windfarm, 50% owned by local Indigenous folks. It emitted 0 #ghg.
Coleson Cove is #newBrunswick's 3rd worst polluter. In 2021 it emitted 430,112.82 tonnes of #co2, equivalent to 86,000 cars driving 25,000 km.

Like fish in a barrel? Yup!
Here is a tank full of stunned fish being moved upstream about 2km away from the #nbPower #mactaquac #hydroElectric #dam.
The trucks run 18h/day for over a month, moving fish upriver for season.
At first, it looked like the fish were all dead! They were unmoving and floated or sank. One by one, they shook awake and swam off!

Getting closer to #PrinceEdwardIsland's first large #solar array coming online!
#Summersides' new solar array will add about 12MW or 25% of their energy needs.
PEI buys most of its energy from #nbPower (who often buys it from #quebecHydro). This solar array is a small but important step toward PEI having #green #energyIndependence!
More of this, all day, everyday!

@cbcnb #NBPower should have bit the bullet and apologized for this debacle long ago. #NewBrunswick

#NBPower commissioned #canada's first two #SMR (small modular nuclear reactors), raising money from #indigenous groups who were not told the risks.
The projects are so risky and so expensive, that before they're even licenced to be built, #Higgs is changing the law to insure we will buy the incredibly expensive energy even when there are cheaper options.
You can't make this stuff up.

#NewBrunswick is "sitting on" dozens of gigawatts of off-shore energy - more than enough for 6.5 million homes - leaving 60% for export.
#NBPower has no interest in pursuing our best path away from fossil fuel. #NovaScotia has no interest in completing the #atlanticLoop.
We could have enough power in 5-8 years to go 100% carbon free in 6 provinces. If we had started in 2015 when these findings were released, we could be there right now. #untapped

Seen on Reddit - A New Brunswick Power truck threatens to run over striking civil servants in Gagetown, NB.
This is vehicular assault in the name of crossing a picket line. In the name of siding with management. And the real twisted shit is that NB Power is a provincial crown corporation, so this is one public employee threatening to crush another one because they have different bosses.
Fucking disgusting.
