>not in the same universe

You're right, they aren't. Yes, thanks to decades of power-lobbying, viable wind and solar energy were both kept as low-key and forgettable as possible - and shut-down whenever possible. Apart from the vast sums of excessive money involved, lurking in the background was the fearful and sure knowledge that everyone, everwhere had potential and certain access to endless power ... without any constraints or arm-twisting politics.

Yes ... wind and solar ARE in a different universe ... one where all of humanity can and will survive and be free of the pernicious influence of centralized energy overlords, and their wars.

Not sure how any of that is relevant in the context of Ontario or the linked article.

> pernicious influence of centralized energy overlords, and their wars.

My centralized energy overlords are extremely well run and regulated nuclear power operators. Seems great to me!

And I can't remember the last war over nuclear fuel...
