Good morning sweet Soo! On the subject of green energy! It's not for me an all or nothing. What I object to is the lack of upfront study to try an get a clear benefit of it's costs (dollars, environment) and long term viability. When a green energy source comes to us costing 200% more than the present and the government is the one putting in place the programs that benefit a few business firms then for me all the red flags go up. For instance in Sweden there are towns that have a central heating plant where they produce low pressure hot water that is piped to the individual homes for heating. imagine one furnace as opposed to 7,000 little furnaces all requiring fuel lines. Now that is green. Imagine a wind farm near superior where the environment is not devastated (yes there is negative effect) and using the wind energy pump water out of the lake to a reservoir higher up in the hills and draw the water down to create energy at peak demands, other words power storage. Now these are to me good green proposals that are worthy of study. Oh ya have a great day All you libs, enjoy the new cabinet that is going to come up with a new way to fix what they have put in place. Doesn't get much funnier than that. Good luck David "O" on trying to learn the party song, sung at a much higher note!

Good morning Skipper and all. You green energy skeptics should do a little research on the subject. (No I don't mean on Fox News or Rush's radio comedy). Most of Europe started with Green Energy years ago and paid the kind or rates Ontario is now paying so they could kick start the Industry. As they get more firms interested they lowered the rate a bit at a time. Dalton doesn't win any cigars for being innovative but is simply following a tried and true process. It must be working as Ontario is adding 1500 Mw of green energy this year alone. Have a great day all.

Dear Dave those towns in Sweden have a little different heating source than here,the heat is thermal from mother nature,once hooked up it's pretty cheap.California does the same for producing energy for electricity,we could do the same for all the windbags on this site,I'll go first.Yeehaw.

Hey Bounder - Methinks your getting confused with Greenland and Sweden. Sweden's back 40 is Identical to ours, that's why I pick them. Apples and Apples. I only wish we had Greenland's naturally occurring thermal wells. Look here at how we can get bamboozled by green paint. If we did nothing else but retool and update our present hydro and yes nuclear facilities we could get another 33% more than our total capacity now. Then we tackle another problem - delivery. In the Sault we are pinched at the Sprague Substation because we are at capacity from here to there. Beyond Sprague the spare capacity is present. I was all in favour of the windmill farm when it went in, until I sat at a friends camp at dusk and found myself starring at a field of red blinking lights. Might as well try to sell me a camp overlooking Pearson international airport based on the view at night. Now I know grump is going to cringe but if you must have mega surplus power then a nuclear generating station is the way to go as long as you are not in danger of tsunamis or earthquakes. Know any place like that?

Here's an idea...
As NIMBYism is a huge problem in getting ANY new electricity producing technology - green, purple, whatever, approved....
shouldn't the government simply drastically reduce the price of the electricity (delivery charges also) for the people willing to live within a certain radius of the producer (maybe 3 km or something)?
Is this just a simplistic, crazy notion, or....?
Discuss among yourselves.

I think that would be a great idea as long as the people get a lot more than cheaper power. How about the health hazards and the lower property values after they are put up (wind farms). I wish I had kept the link about the family in the U K whose health deteriorated after a farm was put up in their area. It seemed that at a certain time of day, the sun, blades and blade speed caused a couple of the kids to have siezures, though neither had any form of epilepsy before, and other people in the area also started to have migraine type headaches, when the shadows cast by the turbine blades hit their homes too. I would like to leave you with a link though to a coal fueled power station, look up DRAX UK. this place does send out some CO2 but at the same time generates some 3500MW of power on a continual basis...

If you believe the current wintry winter we are experiencing, is caused by man made global warming you are a liberal. If you believe hurricanes Katrina and Sandy were caused by MMGW, ditto. The widespread destruction caused by the hurricanes was more from the propensity of certain Americans to build their homes on flood plains.I believe there's a parable about that. 1954 was the year of the "great hurricanes". McGuinty (aka) Obama on steroids, was sold a bill of goods that we all are paying for. Dumping the cheapest electricity on the continent, (from Beck at Niagara)to the U.S. at a loss, to keep wind/solar on line, is nutty. But Liberals are have always excelled at nutty. Prediction, majority Conservative gov't. after Libs/NDP neatly split their vote.

I guess it depends a lot on your point of view, no pun intended. Jobs versus the enviroment, years ago jobs won out, today is a different time and the enviroment has to be taken into account, prehaps more than it should, but for the future generations. I just find it hard to justify spending hundreds of thousands of dollars promoting tourism when you are going to blight the landscape and views with wind and solar farms. If you want to industrialise a rural area then there has to be full time jobs for the local people to do, otherwise what is the advantage for the people who live in the area?? I just see no advantage for people here with regard to all the "green" energy projects, if they are good for the 25 years they say they are, what happens when the market is saturated, What do all these people do then?? Will they be removed or will they just be left to rot where they are, the farms I mean???

Mallett - all the wind farms installed to date will have a short life span your correct. They all can be replaced by one well engineered small by world standards nuclear plant built in Leigh's bay. Probably employ a couple to 500 people with some high paying technical jobs. And finally the steel plant can look at electrical arc furnaces which it can't do now cause the spare capacity in transmission is not there between Sprague and the Sault.

The walks where I courted my sweetie are now overlooked by the things. Somebody took notice of all the wrong data.

From a personal point of view I have no problem with Nuclear power generation plants. Sure when they go wrong they can cause a lot of trouble, however there have not been that many which has caused a lot of problems, and to the best of my knowledge there has been none in Canada with the Candu Reactors. I know of Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, and the Japanese one, but that was also a freak of nature in combination with a tsunami, not exactly an accident, unless you call building it in that area. One of my school buddies went into AEUK, his joke is he glows in the dark, but he has no two headed offspring and cannot remember having a cold or illness in the last few years. Like everything in life there is a chance something will go wrong, but with normal safe guards in place I do not think that Nuclear is anymore dangerous than any other method of generating electricity...
