The government is encouraging Canadians to switch from gas to electric vehicles and from fossil fuel heating to electric heat pumps as part of Canada’s plan to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
That’s prompted a lot of Canadians, including CBC News readers, to ask: won’t that break the grid? How will our electricity system handle that extra load? And will going electric raise energy bills for the average Canadian?
Apparently Magic Elves will harness the power of Unicorn farts to power our EV’s. CBC is getting hammered in the comments for their ‘Pie in the sky’ wish dream.
