“My question is for Catherine [McKenney], Mark [Sutcliffe] and Ade [Olumida].
“When it was brought up in debate #1 that Texas’s reliance on wind power led to 700 deaths when wind failed just before the cold hit last year, Catherine said, referring to Energy Evolution:
‘The key commitments for energy really are district energy, solar energy and looking at ways of reducing greenhouse gases. I don’t know that wind power takes precedence in it.’
“That is deceptive and wrong. District energy doesn’t address how power is generated.

Here is the text of the question:
“Fifty-seven point four billion dollars. In the first debate, I pointed out that Ottawa, if it reduced its emissions to net zero would only affect the global temperature by one-ten-thousandths of a degree Celsius.
“And the response I was given was that it’s important because Ottawa would lead the world. And we’re expected to believe that the world is going to follow Ottawa.
“China, the world’s largest emitter, twice that of the USA, has made it crystal clear that they are not slowing down. They are not following Ottawa. They are actually massively increasing, for example, coal consumption.”
“So, when essentially no one of magnitude is following us, why is Ottawa expected to pay billions and billions and billions of dollars in expenditures for statistically zero global effect?”
