In a letter to the Editor of the EMC Kemptville, lawyer David Poch guilelessly repeats the “green” industrial mantra which is wind and solar mean jobs and prosperity and a better world for all. He says MPP Randy Hillier has “misinformed” his constituents in his opposition to the Green Energy Act.
Poch writes: “Most of the initiatives will be wind and solar projects that cost less than the alternative of refurbishing or building new nuclear plants. … [the Green Energy Act] is about kick starting an Ontario industry that will create jobs and drive down the price of renewable power for our future.”
Wrong. Wind doesn’t work. We saw that last week when, with temperatures in Ontario soaring into the 30s, all that Ontario’s 1100 MW capacity wind industry could muster that day was 17 MW. And the estimated demand that day? 22,400 MW. The 17 is not a typo: that is the best they could do.
Wind doesn’t work, simple as that.
And we the taxpayers and ratepayers are paying big bucks for Ontario to follow the path already trodden by Denmark, Spain and Germany to the detriment of their economies.
