Unless there was an unused nuke plant just sitting around doing nothing (or a new plant was brought online), where did that replacement capacity come from?
Of course, seeing that nuke+hydro is 94+% of their generation, maybe coal wasn't that important to Ontario to begin with.
When I went to school back in 2000 I was taught the world would be out of oil by 2016. So when I hear scientist complain about resources drying up I don't believe them.
The first question to ask is, "What class was that taught in?"
Second question, "Did the author of that textbook have expertise in that subject?"
If it was in some pansy "Environmental Science" class, I'd bet hard money that it wasn't written by a petroleum geologist.
what little economies they do have will collapse and that huge population of unemployed young people will go somewhere, bringing their Wahhabism with them.
Without their "a PC on every desk" mantra, idiots would't have PCs on their desks, the PC revolution wouldn't have happened neither would there be smartphones, and people at work would be using mainframe or minicomputer terminals.
Sure, security wouldn't be perfect (remember the Morris Worm?), but it would be a hell of a lot better than it is now, because sysadmins wouldn't be the clueless drones they are now.
Wikipedia has done a great job in training me to spot weasels.
"we need to respond to the attitudinal change"
IOW, you're not responding to what's right or wrong, but what some ambiguous growing number of people think you should do? This is symptomatic of the disease that has also lead to Trump's popularity in a section of the populace.

From what I understand, they're mostly nuclear.

What did Ontario shift to between 2003 and 2014? I'm betting some other form of fossil fuel.
and France's nuclear power programme was "just" another form of generating steam for the same kind of turbines used in the past.
Renewable don't do that.
The government paid off the slave owners.
There's a smidge more ICE vehicles than there were slaves.
With no income ...

the engines allow the Raptor to cruise at supersonic speeds with less fuel consumption than any other aircraft.
"Most efficient supersonic engines" != "More efficient than subsonic engines"
Are modern engines as efficient at Mach 1.5 as they are at Mach 0.9?
Multiple off-site backups. Multiple, rotating off-site backups. Weekseven if something happens to the on-site tapes you've still got backups.
Honestly, WTF is it about the PC/Internet mentality that makes sysadmins soooo stupid? Enterprises figured this out FIFTY YEARS AGO.
"James Ellis from the Dish Network" (he just called me) does not have a strong Indian accent.
The legitimate Indian call center employees that I have spoken to have pretty good command of English with a -- while noticeable -- mild accent.
The Indian scammers who call me are definite rejects based on their strong accents and inability to do anything but poorly follow a script.
Indians speaking horrible English "increase the impact of their scams"?
Unless by "increase the impact" they mean, "make it an obvious scam"...
Must the electric company cut power to a bookie joint that pays it's bills just because it's a bookie joint?
It didn't even mention that SpaceX was launching today.
Nope. First used MS-BASIC in a 16KB TRS-80 (Model 1??) in 1979.

Is that really Big Data? I wouldn't consider 565M records Big Data. 5.65G records is low end of Big Data.
Thus, how is this more than warm, fuzzy, feel good PR for IBM?
How do I feel about it? When did /. turn into Oprah Fucking Winfrey???
Their desktop vision is really coming together.
Like the perfectly functional desktop they had FIVE YEARS AGO and then completely trashed because "touch screen"?
The black guy is talking too fast to understand. Anyway, it's nothing different from what the Nation of Islam taught Malcolm Little 70 years ago.
All during the NSA slurp years, millions of idiots said the most hateful things about W, and moaned that they might get thrown in Gitmo.
Shockingly, none are.
Damn. Two days after my mod points expired (since "Yale Shrieking Girl" was my first thought when reading the summary).
The majority are usually right.
That is so wrong on so many levels.
Not always
Perfect escape clause.
So if you have any views that disagree with the majority
When did a growing number of people morph into a majority?
you really need to give those views some in-depth examination
People should give all of their views in-depth analysis.

This is why, once upon a time, executives were middle-aged men who'd had enough time to learn why profits are required for business to function.
in spite of their long and hallowed history to the contrary.
Because most people aren't geeks who obsess over this kind of stuff.
