PROVINCIAL SUPPORT FOR WIND TURBINES IS FALLING



Today's Waterloo Region Record carrys this story "Ontario tilts against wind turbines as costs soar". According to this article written by Martin Regg Cohn someone has goofed big time. Apparently too many contracts for too much money wasn't such a hot idea. It turns out that wind blows generally not during peak demand times for electricity but during low demand times. Isn't that just dandy? The belief in Ontario to expand wind power generation without due diligence has caused poer bills to rise beyond what is politically acceptable. Hence while we still hope that coa; is soon to be gone apparently natural gas is still the go to power source. You can turn it off and on when required; easier, faster and cheaper than anything else. Like all good ideas maybe enough homework wasn't done sooner.
