| Odd.. because this is NOT what took place here (Ontario) where our government pushed us to near-bankruptcy debt by signing long-term contracts to build "green energy". it cost them an election, and many years later the party responsible for those decisions (among others) have yet to gain "party status". Can you show us any "renewables" that were not government subsidized as well? https://www.fao-on.org/en/Blog/Publications/2021-commercial-....

If renewables are such a good deal, why is there so little of it? As i posted, Ontario gets 59% of its power from nuclear, 5% from wind and 1% from solar... |
