It is counterintuitive, but it's the light that allows solar panels to create electricity - not heat.

"“But what about the cold?” you’re thinking. The good news is that cold temperatures often improve solar panel energy output, sometimes even above their rated efficiency. In fact, colder temperatures may actually increase panel efficiency."

Do Solar Panels Work In Winter?

While I agree with the sentiment, heat actually works against solar power, making the panels less efficient. More sun with less heat is optimal (tough combination). Solar farms in the high plateaus are good and I think there is one built up near Highland Valley?

It goes beyond Rustad though - Milobar knew who he was getting into business with - none of what's happened to the BC Conservatives is all that surprising yet Milobar chose to stick with them.

Of course Rustad pulls the age-old Conservative tact of questioning the mental health of anyone (and point out the crying of a woman) who dare to question HIS leadership. What a pig #bcpoli
