Ontario to spend $7-billion in sweeping climate change plan

[mentalfloss]

Once again the conbots are making mountains out of mole hills on carbon pricing.


Ontario’s new climate-change plan will cost the average household $13 a month — far less than a carbon tax that would have meant a monthly hit of up to $107, according to an internal report on the scheme.

Premier Kathleen Wynne’s cap-and-trade proposal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, enshrined in legislation expected to pass Wednesday, will drag on the economy by 0.03 per cent in 2020.

Growth forecast to be 11 per cent between 2015 and 2020 will be adjusted downward to 10.97 per cent, having roughly the same effect on the provincial economy as a statutory holiday.

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.

ADAPT2030 has a vid series about ice-ages that points to your theory being the steps that would have to be taken (shut down everything invented after the industrial revolution in England.) to meet the cut in carbon emissions and that would stop a projected 1/10 of 1 deg C on a global average. The solution would seem to be to carry on and leave a note to the next generation to check on this item at some point in the future when they have to adapt to the changes. 'Danger: Rip Tide in 100 years' might just be fear mongering rather than hard science.

Yeah ... and Hydro was only supposed to increase by HOW MUCH? Get rid of party politics and gang extortion

How much influence do the hydro companies have with the Gov of Ontario?? (could they influence future trends based on their profit margin compared to what the Province needs the most at the least cost) I like electric, I also know it doesn't come free or out of the clear blue sky (at present)

Would a tunnel from that big inlet in southern NS be able to capture high tide and feed that water to the St Lawrence due to gravity and that energy could be used to turn turbines and generate power?

If London has that big wheel for tourists how about the St Lawrence have them as paddle wheels turning gensets?

That sounds like the propane scam, buy the conversion kit for a lot of money but buy your fuel for cheap. Suddenly after enough units were sold the price of the cheap fuel was raised so it was equal to what other fuel cost. Sat TV was the same way, at first you paid a lot for the dish and nothing for the programming, after a while the hardware was free and you paid a lot of money for the programming, that is still how it works.

Is Mr. Wynne prepared to guarantee that rate?

Yeah, didn't think so.

I can see it coming

 

[mentalfloss]

How much did that cost you?

I cant be the only one here that reads the financial post, am i? :lol: .... Hard to believe that i read things....


Kevin Libin: Ontario’s big, green assisted economic suicide plan | Financial Post

Anyways read the article, i like the part where it says that the liberals in their support of assisted dying are now trying the same practice on an actual province...

And further into the article it is noted that the Scandinavian countries that tried this method ended up shifting the cost of the green to consumers as opposed to business's because, get this... they didn't want those business's moving to another area that had less expensive jurisdictions....

Forget Denmark were the average consumer pays 5 times the taxes on electricity in relation to what they actually use, when compared to other countries...

Good article

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

Only $150 a year....

or two months groceries.

 

[captain morgan]

Mrs Reddenbacher says it's only a few dollars a month. Wait and watch her up tax rates to kick in for the difference

 

[petros]

Of course, he has no choice but devise schemes and up taxation. ON is doomed.

Wonder how Flossy will spin the upcoming exodus of heavy industry and mfg in Ontario... Betcha he'll call it a success in terms of 'going green'

 

[mentalfloss]

Such a shame.

Yeah ... it's pretty smokey, but an Ontario government wouldn't be comfortable without the mirrors

Only 43,000 mfging job lost last month. Must be because of climate change.

This government never ceases to find ways to spend money and kill industry and jobs in Ontario.

This government is outta control. They are going to dig a financial hole so deep that decades from now it will still be visible from space.

 

[mentalfloss]

Quite literally destroying jobs as we speak.


The Fort McMurray wildfire has destroyed one of the oilsands camps north of the city and is roaring eastward toward others in its path.

The fire destroyed all 665 units at Blacksand Executive Lodge, which provided temporary housing for workers in nearby oil facilities, on Tuesday morning. By Tuesday afternoon, flames were at the edges of the Noralta Lodge camp, just a few kilometres east of Blacksand.

Syncrude used to house the temp construction workers on-site so setting that back up would be the solution to having the plant up and running at full capacity if other supplies have not already replaced it. The place needs workers more than it needs a town. Be a great place for a suspended hi-speed monorail and then commute from Edmonton. (sell it to Ontario and grab some of that $7B)

Hydro One is being sold off to Private Corps (RIP Adam Beck) and to accomplish this they pacified all of the workers, Non Union and Union at HO buy paying them off in the form of stock.

When the Union workers first heard of the sell off they started a loud campaign to get everybody to defeat it, but since they were bought off, that campaign was cancelled.....

So basically they told the new owners they would help assure the business gained importance rather than giving people the best deal for the least amount of money. That seems to be the way things work, time for a global reset.
