    Karas has kindred spirits in Canada (none / 0) (#5)
    by Rougman on Thu Oct 29, 2009 at 03:58:45 PM EST
    Here is a quote from an article in the Toronto Sun that I linked to the other day:  
    He's using taxpayers' money to massively subsidize wind -- paying 13.5 cents per kilowatt hour for electricity generated from wind turbines (19 cents for offshore projects) compared to the normal cost of generation of four to five cents.

    Wind companies are scrambling to cash in, building and proposing thousands of turbines across Ontario, massive steel structures as high as 40 storeys.

    The province has been flooded with so many applications for offshore wind farms that Natural Resources Minister Donna Cansfield announced last week it won't consider any more until next year, just so it can catch up on the paperwork.

    Alarmingly, Ontario's mad rush to embrace renewable energy sources that aren't viable without massive public subsidies and are incapable, given current technology, of supplying "on demand" power to the grid, is being led by the same two politicians, McGuinty and Energy Minister George Smitherman, mainly responsible for the $1 billion eHealth boondoggle. (Smitherman used to be health minister.)

    Ya...I can't wait until the people in northern Michigan get to pay triple the amount for the undependable green energy that Karas is in favor of.
