Wikipedia is absolute shit in terms of understanding what's going on here, and the article itself is so poorly written that it's silly. Try reading that and you'll get a better understanding. Ontario already has guaranteed rates for nuclear power plants, just a FYI. It adds a production cost of between 0.02-0.03kWh to the base cost during the last 15 years prior to refurbishment. The last government audit before the watch dog on electricity prices was gutted by the provincial liberals put the minimum cost that FIT and green energy was increasing the price was 16.5%, that was in ~2013.
People are so quick to jump on the FIT program and green energy costs here in Ontario. They seem to forget the billion dollars we have to pay off in order to cancel a contract for a couple of gas turbine generating stations to be built so the Liberals could win those seats in an election. In a statement concerning the rate hikes a couple of years ago (2 or 3) raising wages were responsible for approximately half of the hike. There are a lot of people making over $100k in the power companies.
Except that the FIT program and subsidies are directly responsible for those energy costs. Not those "gas power plants" that they cancelled and screwed the province over. See that link above that says "global news" where the provincial Liberal government openly states that it's the "green energy program" aka FIT that's the direct cause of the high electricity prices. Maybe you can enjoy reading this article instead. Or perhaps you can read this one. You know where the blame falls directly on the green energy program and the FIT system. Or perhaps even this one. Yeah, it all falls back to one place. Then you can get into this bullshit.
Electricity was cheap in Australia too before they started pushing green energy. Except green energy had nothing to do with the price. Along with green energy came major infrastructure investments and the decree that we should never again have power outages. The gold plating began.
You click on those links? No? Go read them. Green energy is the exact cause of it being so expensive here in Ontario. $0.50kWh+ is what solar and wind are being paid, some are still being paid at $0.80kWh. If you're running solar/wind on a reserve? They pay you at $1.356kWh. So tell me again how that's not costing everyone money when nuclear is running $0.06kWh, and hydro-electric is running at $0.04kWh on the market. That's also not counting that you're paying the subsidies to install those with every single electric bill.
They stop running the AC and Heater at the same time? Many other countries have coped just fine, except that where I live prices didn't go up 40% they went up 350%.
You never looked at a thermostat huh? Well you can only run one at a time. Many other countries aren't nearly 10m SQ km are they. Many countries don't go from 30C summers to -45C winters in the same region.
The Canadians are worse than the Americans when it comes to average electricity consumption.
You can thank Liberal governments for that one. See back years ago, they started pushing that electric heat was a great idea.
Maybe it's time prices reflected what you do to the world and then you can start looking for alternatives.
Perhaps it's time that realize that some parts of the world have more then one season.
Quebec if you might have noticed from those links gets the majority of it's energy production from dun, dun, dun....hydro-electric. Because it's incredibly lucky to have the terrain to support it. Hydro-electric is also cheap in Ontario, solar, wind? Not. Especially not at 0.80kWh. But hydro-electric is also only renewable when you've got an upstream water source right.
It's not my problem if a citation is given and you refuse to read it. All that does is show your intellectual cowardice, I'm still waiting to see when you'll actually respond to the actual stuff I made a statement on ~2 posts ago. When you can figure out how to respond to something, and read those citations and links that show something contrary to your view. Then I'll consider it. So get going, that challenge is laid out and waiting.
Now the kicker is people use less electricity and the prices keep going up, just like how they claimed that "ToD" meters would make electricity cheap. And the costs of it kept going up. This whole idea of paying via FiT and green energy rebates doesn't work and only makes people poorer. Hell it drives businesses out, which means governments need to find new tax bases. So who are the first taxed? Shouldn't be hard for anyone to figure out, but if you need a hint, it's not businesses. And the Federal Liberal Party is pushing for this exact same garbage on Canada.
You know, electricity was cheap in Canada until they started pushing "green energy" too. Then it started going through the roof because everyone get's screwed over paying FiT's and rebates for the programs. Oh yes, just love the $0.188kWh, when it was 0.08kWh at peak. And now with the lying Liberal government here in Ontario, and their attempt to buy people off by taking a massive loan to give a short-term paydown, well electricity rates are going to go through the roof. Watch for the absolute shit-show that's going to happen, especially coupled with the carbon taxes being pushed. People are already at the "electricity or roof over head" stage.
What do people think is going to happen when prices go up 40% when all this is figured in and wages continue to remain stagnant. Hell over the last 10 years, the CoL in Ontario has gone up ~20% and wages have gone up by around 2-5%. The only place where wages have gone up more is in the public sector(around 10%).
Just think of what would have happened with Hillary being elected. You'd see more things like this happening. Maybe you should be very glad that Trump was elected, instead of the other candidate that broke laws at every turn, pressured and threatened leaders of other countries to donate to her foundation. Spied on allies, and suddenly...just suddenly when she lost...the clinton global initiative shutdown, said organization took international kickbacks and offered access to government officials through "donations."
It wasn't that Clinton was terrible, that the democrats were corrupt, that they rigged their own primary, that they sank their own ship. That even with rigging at least one debate via Donna Brazile leaking questions to Clinton, that she still couldn't win. That they decided in to say "screw it" with an internal review of where it all went wrong. Then voted in someone who is even worse then Clinton as the head of the DNC. Nope, it wasn't her fault at all. And just keep digging, because the bullshit you're spouting will guarantee Trump a second term. Just like the Liberal Party of Ontario's actions will ensure that by July of next year it won't be a party at all.
So what is it about having a formal, moderated debate that scares you? Slashdot doesn't count, it's not a formal debate platform and the moderation is extremely partisan.
Easy. I doubt people are willing to wait upto 2 weeks for a reply, which is roughly what it would be. What is it that scares you about actually staying on topic on something, and actually trying to counter points which are made? Oh/. doesn't count? Is that because moderation heavily skews towards the left, or is it because there's such a fundamental shift in perceptions against social justice something to which you vigorously support.
Topic? Why are people like Jess Phillips allowed to use absolute falsehoods, lies and defamation in her defense of feminism and not held to account by the media. Rather that the media openly supports and parrots her lies.
U.S. intelligence agencies concluded that the Russian government orchestrated the hacks and disclosure of Democratic emails during the election
Care to explain how that happened? The FBI has never forensically audited the DNC email servers, and the DNC has repeatedly refused to hand them over to investigate. And nobody has any idea with her illegal private email server because she scrubbed it.
The article is about yet another reveal of links between Trump & Russia, in particular their helping him win the election.
No all the article is about is "MUH RUSSIANS" because I said so. Zero evidence, zero facts. But hey, let's run with your narrative. You ready to prosecute Obama for directly funding opposition in Israel, and interfering in the French and UK election? Because that happened.
When Ben Garrison get's it and you don't. Small background note: Ben was targeted by 4chan, particularly by/pol/ got upset, embraced it, is loved by legions of people of and not of chan culture.
That part where you don't even understand the basics of chan culture. I'm not sure what's funnier, that you continue to parrot bullshit over and over and over again. Or that you seem to believe it. Whether it's "gamergate is full of misogynist neckbeards" supporting Sarkeesian the idiot that believes demurely dressed Elizabeth Comstock is "sexualized" or the "pepe is a hate symbol." Thanks for explaining and showing everyone what a normie is though.
Gonna be a real blow when you find out that those "white supremacists" are actually black, asian, and so on like so many times in the past. That the vast majority of what you see is to simply drive people like you into a "OMG THE WHITE SUPREMACISITS R EVRAYWARE!" and away from/pol//b/ and so on. You know, kinda like that person who called in bomb threats against synagogues in the US was an Israeli-American citizen, living in Israel, and Israel just refused to extradite him. Or one of those multiple big name anti-gamergate people have been arrested, charged with rape, have multiple claims of sexual assault, or even one of the big anti-GG reporters was charged with 8 counts of bomb threats against jewish centers. And according to the FBI there hasn't been a single case linked to any member of gamergate...at all.
The only people that want pepe dead are those on the left who continue to push that a meme from 2008 is a "hate symbol." FYI that's fake news. And said bullshit of it being a hate symbol was nothing but a troll by an individual to screw with the absolute lack of fact checking by the media. It's no different then people trolling the media that the following things are also hate symbols: OK gesture.White milk. The entire American Sign Language, among other things. If anything people have simply had enough and decided to crash the media with no survivors. I wish them the best, and may kek be with them.
No shit. He's up by 30 points in the latest polls. He will win in a landslide.
You mean that poll that has no polling data, no information on who was selected, no methodology and so on? In other news, Hillary Clinton has a 98% chance of winning. I saw it on CNN, so it has to be true!
What the hell does that mean? Is she suggesting that Germany is going to invade France again?
No, she's suggesting that Germany will use the EU as a proxy to threaten other countries if they refuse to fall in line. Similar to what Germany has been doing to other countries in the EU. Especially against countries in the western part of the EU economic bloc.
Have fun with your delusional Islamophobia though. ISIS will thank you for helping to keep their prisoners from escaping.
A phobia is an irrational fear. There's plenty to fear from crazy religious muslims that use religion as their scapegoat. Whether it's to claim that said religion allows them to treat women as less then human, rape them because they're worth less then men, or keep them as chattel because they're the property of a man. That's doubly true, considering the extremism coming from mosques in Europe. You think that Rotherham happened because it was "a fear of asians" or something? No it was a fear of the police, council and so on as being labeled racist for trying to stop roving gangs of muslims from raping and selling teen and pre-teen girls for sex, and keeping some of them as sex slaves.
Seem to remember a few decades ago that they found live Y-P in a couple of plague pits from the 1500's(might have been 1800's been a long time since I read the article) in the UK. It had survived by living inside other bacteria, and did so rather happily. There's an article this for anyone interested in reading about it.
Except that really doesn't stop gangs from doing that now. The problem is you want police and communities to work together to solve a problem, if the community doesn't trust the police? That gets you no where. And the people on the street are the first ones to hear if something is happening, see if someone unscrupulous is doing something. That trust factor is key to stopping crimes from happening to more people. Compare countries that use the kiosk system like Japan, to countries that don't. What do you have? Higher clearance rates, higher rates of stopping assaults of all types, lower B&E rates, lower "open" drug dealing in the streets.
The only way to stop corruption like that is the same way we've done it for 100 years. Vigilance in making sure they're not corrupt. Which is why SIU organizations exist. If you don't think an internal one works well, you can do what we have here in Canada where it's an external one. And the people are a mixture of ex-police constables and members who worked in public life in a variety of jobs and other branches of the law(lawyers/judges/etc).
Oh come on now, if we're gonna do this let's do it right. Racks, pincers, pulling finger nails and breaking bones. It's the good old days all over again.

Define "short term" because here in Ontario, we're at ~16 years and the costs just keep going up. It's completely screwed up the electricity system of Ontario as well. So much so that even the government that parroted it for over a decade is say well, we screwed up. You know why they're saying that? Because they're about to go from a majority to a non-party and are trying to salvage themselves.
Now the kicker is people use less electricity and the prices keep going up, just like how they claimed that "ToD" meters would make electricity cheap. And the costs of it kept going up.

The public debate happens every time we cross, those posts modded up or down are the reaction. You still don't get that either do you.
Or one of those multiple big name anti-gamergate people have been arrested, ...
