The consumers of power in Quebec have had enough of rising costs, most of which are due to the use of useless wind turbines, which necessitate huge infrastructure changes. The rising costs are not sustainable!

Ontario today: spaghetti supper fundraisers vs jetset hotshots – Wind Concerns Ontario
Two events occurring over the last week are emblematic to us of the reality that is Ontario today: the most recent fundraiser dinner held by Mothers Against Wind Turbines, where friends and neighbours gather for food and laughter and to raise money for the fight to protect their community, and the Toronto gathering of the Green Energy bluebloods, full of self-congratulation. Sorry, we have no photos of what a bankrupt province looks like, which also made the news in the last week.

Germany plans to curb energy transition
Climate protection groups are criticizing the German government’s plans to slow down renewable energy development. In spite of a recently decided coalition agreement, the debate about the right pace will continue.
Author Gero Rueter / nh November 30, 2013
…Göppel is angry that the party leadership deleted paragraphs from the coalition draft which the energy working group had deemed vital in their negotiations. If the coalition agreement is implemented as it currently stands, said Göppel, Germany risks losing its energy leadership role.
Ulrich Kelber, deputy chairman of the SPD’s parliamentary group, confirmed that many passages were deleted in the final phase of the coalition negotiations. He blamed chancellor Merkel personally. “Unfortunately, slowing down development of renewable energies was the political scalpel Merkel wanted to have,” Kelber told Deutsche Welle. He added that he didn’t expect such intervention on Merkel’s part, and also that he was surprised to see her wanting to change her own policy.
Less nuclear means more greenhouse gases
John Spears Toronto Star
Deciding not to build new nuclear reactors will drive Ontario’s carbon emissions back to 2005 levels, says a McMaster University professor.
John Luxat, professor of nuclear safety analysis, told the Economic Club that foregoing nuclear in favour of renewable energy comes at the price of higher greenhouse gas emissions.
Ontario has said it won’t proceed with construction of two proposed new units at the Darlington nuclear station.
At the same time, the province is expanding renewable generation such as wind and solar.
Luxat, who worked for many years in Ontario’s nuclear power sector, said the problem with wind and solar is that they are intermittent, depending on weather. That means they require back-up to fill the gaps – a function largely performed in Ontario by natural gas-fired generators, which emit carbon dioxide.
John Spears mentions in the article how Germany has again turned to burning coal in response to the intermittency of wind and solar.
The result will be a rebound in its carbon emissions, Luxat said, as the Germans fill the gap with coal and coal-backed renewables.
That option will not be open to us here in Ontario as our Premier Wynne is on a mission to outlaw the use of coal.

Country Harvest Dinner – MAWT
MAWT was out in full force once again at the Silverdale Community Hall in St. Anne on November 27th 2013.. The Mothers Against Wind Turbines are a group of strong, determined and dedicated women. Who with their family members will not stop the fight to preserve their communities against the relentless onslaught of wind projects being forced unto them. The depth of talents and skills ranged from the cooking in the kitchen, dessert table submissions, and a large variety of crafts donated for the raffle table. Smiles and laughter rang out throughout but the purpose for the gathering was ever present. The year is drawing to a close and Christmas is just around the corner. The true strength of this group is being agents of change. The talk in the kitchen and the hall was positive and focused on what can be done and what is being done next in the wind battles. Today is the start of that change, and tomorrow will be the memories of yesterday. Hope you can join us and see you next time.
Warsaw walkout: Big green groups bail on U.N. climate talks
By Ben Jervey Grist guest contributor
WARSAW, Poland – For the first time ever, environmental groups have staged a mass walkout of a U.N. climate summit. Citing immense frustration with the lack of productive action in the COP19 climate talks, which have been dogged by a persistent rift between rich and poor countries on the responsibility of paying for climate damages, hundreds of people from dozens of environmental groups and movements from all corners of the Earth have voluntarily withdrawn from the talks. According to a spokesperson for Oxfam, around 800 civil society members (which is the label applied to all advocate and activist types at these meetings) have walked out. In a joint statement, group leaders offered that “the best use of their time” was to now focus “on mobilizing people to push our governments to take leadership for serious climate action.”
These environmental extremists can just keep on walking. This is all about a wealth distribution scam and nothing about saving our planet. The fact that there has been no increase of the earths temperature in over 15 years should be front and centre at these UN climate talks. These are crooks and con artists. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
Don’t go home from the cop19, mad….just go home. or, (the cheque is in the mail) NOT!
http://toryaardvark.com/2013/11/21/cop19-aussies-in-t-shirts-blamed-for-loss-and-damage-walkout/#more-23875 What on earth did they think? Of course no one is going to hand over billions of dollars….for nothing!
We are being ripped off. We don’t need their useless, inefficient, wind turbines.
http://globalwindenergyimpact.com/2013/11/20/federal-judge-michigan-renewable-energy-mandate-unconstitutional/ A judge from this province needs to take a good long look at the windscam. It is as corrupt as any mafia business deal, and the government is involved. The government actually passed legislation, to promote and protect a business that they were heavily invested in. Disgusting. They even passed the GEA to force people to pay for their useless machines, with no proof of their value, or our need for them.

Ontario set to avoid ‘over-committing’ on new, big energy projects
Shawn McCarthy The Globe and Mail- November 19,2013
Still reeling from its $1-billion gas-plant debacle, Ontario’s Liberal government says it will avoid making commitments for large-scale new power projects.
The province is expected to release its new long-term energy plan within a few weeks, as it faces fierce criticism over the cost of cancelling two gas-fired power plants and rising consumer prices.
Energy Minister Bob Chiarelli said the government will commit only to projects that address short-term power needs, and will provide annual updates on the rapidly changing supply and demand picture.
Read this excellent Globe and Mail opinion piece as well.
What exactly does he mean when he says “avoid making commitments for large-scale new power projects”? Better get my liars dictionary out so I can interpret. Huh, it says here that they will keep plastering our backyards with industrial wind turbine installations. Everbody should get one of these dictionaries. Handy.
