Summarization
Saskatchewan has an unreliable water supply, which is an issue for the SaskPower efforts to build Small Modular Reactors. Solar energy is seen as a viable alternative and is being implemented in Alberta but is not getting the same attention in Saskatchewan. There is concern that SaskPower may be influenced by the provincial government, which is tied to the oil and gas industry, and revert to burning coal as well as push back against re-instating net metering.
Topic Modeling
- The use of water to cool energy plants, i.e. natural gas, coal, and nuclear
- The importance of access to clean drinking water
- SaskPower's potential involvement in renewable energy sources
- The impact that Saskatchewan's droughts have on energy production
- The influence of the fossil fuel industry on energy production and regulation
Emotional Analysis
The tweets express a range of emotions, from optimism and excitement to frustration and disappointment. There is a sense of urgency in some of the tweets, as people are calling on SaskPower to take action and make changes. There is also a sense of disbelief, as some people question why SaskPower is not investing more in renewable energy sources, and why they scrapped net metering. Finally, there is a sense of caution and concern about the potential impacts of a nuclear plant in an area prone to droughts.
Trend Analysis
- SaskPower and its initiatives
- Comparisons of nuclear plants and renewable energy sources
- The importance of clean drinking water
- The effects of droughts in Saskatchewan
- SaskPower's reliance on fossil fuels

| 1624899545422348290 | @chantz_y @ianhanomansing On a related note, @SaskPower is also doing a survey asking people how important it is to maintain access to clean drinking water!People should not be asked if their rights are okay to take away. CBC can't in good conscience ask if we should adopt bankruptcy for medical access. https://t.co/cjYc3EfuEY | 3 |

| 1624040863226642433 | @SaskPower Considering our water is our drinking water, and it comes mostly from glaciers not expected to be there for the life of a nuclear power plant, it's folly all the way down the checklist. | 2 |
| 1623697196691476482 | Brian Zinchuk: SaskPower may have no choice but to use SNC-Lavalin for small modular reactors. 8 years after BD3 went online, SPC and SNC are still in legal dispute. https://t.co/HHHebEr6lS @SaskPower @Saskpower #nuclear #saskatchewan #SMR #SMRs #coalpower #estevan #cleancoal | 1 |
| 1624162113412292622 | @SaskPower Why won't SaskPower put more effort into more renewables with battery storage? This massive herculean effort for nuclear (which is ten years away) seems like a waste of time. Renewables are already a fractional price of nuclear!!!! SMR will double our power cost for only 600 mW https://t.co/gnAUh73gzu | 1 |
| 1624039895332167681 | @SaskPower How much cheaper today, renewable generation is Sask power installing this year? Or maybe too much renewables make the nuclear idea less needed so you’re going to wait…another 6 years to decide…? https://t.co/eHxcCuEWEh | 1 |

| 1623664462304616448 | SNC-Lavalin among the contractors listed for Ontario’s small modular reactor project, and @SaskPower is following Ontario Power Generation’s lead https://t.co/9M6O5qe8x2 #SNCLavalin #SMR #SMRs #nuclear #nuclearpower https://t.co/fPYP7qb6BK | 1 |
| 1625902896352219136 | @jewhittingham @quillpig @CleanEnergyPod @SaskPower Getting rid of SaskPower for failing to modernize kinda plays to the SaskParty idea that we should get rid of as many Crown employees as possible. However, Crowns are supposed to exist for all Sask’s benefit. | 1 |

| 1624044437704740864 | @SaskPower Let's do it! We cool natural gas and coal plants today with the same water supplies we'd use to cool SMRs. Nuclear has an unparalleled safety record in Canada! Image: Pickering Nuclear Generating Station in Ontario https://t.co/ExJVHivtsQ | 14 |

| 1625879627779506176 | @jewhittingham @CleanEnergyPod Has anyone told @SaskPower ? They seem to think the only option is to spend 7 years debating building SMRs and then eventually decide to build SMRs… Solar what??!! https://t.co/R1fuhF2xeA | 10 |
| 1625885114558255105 | @quillpig @CleanEnergyPod @SaskPower I suspect their ambitions are influenced by the government who in turn are influenced by the fossil fuel industry. We may need to deregulate like Alberta, who are leading the country in solar. It's a gold rush over there right now. | 7 |
