Wynne announces $26 M for GE plant
- Thread starter mentalfloss
- Start date
$26 Million of taxpayer money to a private company. How is this not corporate welfare?
And it is about the same as the windmill subsidies Ontario endures at the cost of everybody on their hydro bills.
So basically it will use robots as much as possible and the jobs are constructing the plant over 1 year and next to noting on the assembly lines and shipping and receiving.
Less human workers also means the community misses out on wages coming in to the people as the robots wages revert to the owners rather than the community the building is in, even the power they use is profit for somebody outside of the community.
You can't possibly be that stupid. Market rate for hydro: 2.23 cents/Kwh. Price paid to whirlygig operators: 13 cents/Kwh
Price paid to solar operators: 80 cents/Kwh.
Do you even understand what a subsidy is?
The incentive was there when Hydro Electric Power Commission of Ontario existed. Thanks Harris, McGuinty and Wynne - and to a lesser extent, Davis
But you are willing to give taxpayers money to a foreign company that could have built this plant anywhere in the world just to say that Ontario is investor friendly. Right. To top it off Ontario is so expensive a place to manufacture that they can afford to run gas turbine generators and beat electric prices. Are the taxpayers subsidizing the imported NG to run the turbines?
ANother fail.
Fossil fuels are not subsidized in Canada. But manufacturing in Ontario is.
He understands....it's when he gets to support sending other peoples tax dollars (have to be other people's because he doesn't pay taxes) to huge, profitable corporations in order to help destroy other corporations he doesn't like
That's what happens when you let electricity run wild. Ask any lightning bolt....
You'd probably get a more truthful response than from Princess Pinwheel and her shock troopers
Run them everywhere as soon as a tiny one is invented then the 'grid' would include households which means they would get a cheque at the end of the month instead of a bill and that system would survive any winter storm (with the least disruption)
. . . .more like 140 years.
