Kill NG?? Wow that seems a tad foolish considering how cheap it is at the moment and the only drawback is a new line would be needed.
Going electric is fine as long as Alberta doesn't have to foot the bill for the cost of that transition which would include a few new centrally located power stations rather than each place having a 'fat boy' of NG in reserve just in case there is a disruption in supply. That means the cost isn't part of the spreadsheet that sets what the transfer payments are.

It will be interesting to see just how Ontario cuts use while the yearly climate indicates a longer winter. An electric car and a blizzard, wonderful combination. NG fueled car and blizzard= impromptu fondoo.

ES you should look at the pile of cash the US already burns through needlessly before you use the term 'all that money' as it is a small pile rather than a large one. Just what have you been fed in the past???


While Alberta is under Chinook like conditions for another 500 years. Some things you just have to put up with. I guess 'we' could always run our pipelines to Mexico along with the new roads and rail networks. Back to the days of the buffalo so to speak.

Cutting use is easy. Kill off all industry. All that will be left that can afford power will be government employees and those with government pensions.

British Thermal Units ... How quaint.

How else are you going to measure heat?

Ontario taxpayer will burden the bill of course.. :lol:
Ontario is a welfare Province already adding more debt will solve that how?? That still leaves the other welfare Province, Quebec, needing imports or NG from the west so they would need a pipeline that Ontario doesn't use but gets paid as it crosses their Province

A Sterling engine in every yard would need as much NG as a pilot light used to use before they went on a timer. A few candles should the gas quit.

Wynne’s climate strategy will drive millions into energy poverty

Small wonder Premier Kathleen Wynne is in Israel this week.

That’s where I’d want to be if my so-called Climate Change Action Plan was leaked to the Globe and Mail Monday.

According to its report, Wynne writes in the preamble of the 57-page document, officially still being debated by cabinet: “We are on the cusp of a once-in-a-lifetime transformation. It’s a transformation of how we look at our planet and the impact we have on it. It’s a transformation that will forever change how we live, work, play and move.”

You bet. Because this plan setting out Ontario’s energy future to 2050 will hurl millions of Ontarians into energy poverty and the poorhouse, without lowering greenhouse gas emissions linked to climate change.

Dear Premier Wynne: Re plan to convert natural gas heating to electricity. U do know a lot of our electricity comes from natural gas, right?



He's such an alarmist.

Nope. Brush up on ohm's/joule's law. It comes in handy to calculate the number of Watts that amps, volts and ohms create.

Ontario government not denying report on sweeping climate change plan - Toronto - CBC News

Worth restating what's coming up for the deniers. Enjoy!


The Globe and Mail says it has obtained a confidential cabinet document that lays out the plan in detail. Among the key measures cited in the Globe report are:

1.) All new homes built after 2030 must be heated without using fossil fuels, such as natural gas.

2.) A target of 1.7 million electric or hybrid cars on the road by 2024

3.) Mandating a five per cent cut in carbon emissions from gasoline and diesel
How did the Globe and Mail receive confidential documents from the Government of Ontario ?
Will there be consequences for the leaker ?

Of course not, in fascism, corporate/govt collusion is the norm.


Collusion is an agreement between two or more parties, sometimes illegal and therefore secretive, to limit open competition by deceiving, misleading, or defrauding others of their legal rights, or to obtain an objective forbidden by law typically by defrauding or gaining an unfair market advantage.

The politicaly correct can destroy this country. I'm not sure I really truly cared to begin with, anyways. :lol:
