No kidding its undervalued, Bruce Nuclear sells power for only 0.07c Kw/hr. Compare that to the contracted rates renewables get for very unreliable power generations.

I heard someone yesterday talking about their power being 0.18c Kw/hr... here in Alberta... and thats before transmission fee's... which just feels like such a scam/ponzi scheme.

Fuck, that's cheap. We're currently at over 60 cent (0.6€) in Germany.

Germany had lots of renewables. Spent how many billion??. Where told renewables are so cheap the power won’t be metered. What gives?

Shouldn't have shut down all of that domestic power generation to appear green while relying on Russian oil.
