Hi There Everyone,
yes its been a while.
did you know the Ontario government is paying Korea's Samsung big bucks to build windmills and solar to boost our electrical capacity??? YIP THEY ARE!!
something close to a 70 billion dollar (yes with a B) green energy deal.
The Tories and New Democrats have condemned the deal with Samsung and Korea Electric Power Corp. as a massive taxpayer subsidy to a foreign company.The NDP finally obtained a copy of the Samsung deal through a freedom of information request, but all the provisions regarding payments and premiums for Samsung were deleted before its release.
Several of the 32 pages are virtually blank, except for introductory lines stating "there shall be paid an economic development adder" to Samsung by Ontario taxpayers. The amounts were left blank. BLANK???? what the hell does that mean??? does it mean Samsung writes there own ticket? does it mean we will have to dig deeper because the Ontario government is in bed with them?
SO HERE IS THE SO CALLED DEAL THEY HATCHED WITH SAMSUNG......
"The deal calls on Samsung to build four new manufacturing plants in Ontario for solar and wind farms as well as green energy projects, with specific targets of 400 megawatts of new wind power and 100 new megawatts of solar power for each of five phases of the deal.
Samsung is expected to create about 16,000 thousand new jobs in Ontario and help the province create a hub of green energy companies and expertise that can export its products around the world.
In return, Ontario guarantees the Korean company space on the province's limited transmission grid, plus premium rates for the electricity it generates."
Why did McGuinty not give the contract to CANADIAN COMPANIES??? WHO COULD ALSO HIRE CANADIAN WORKERS TO PROMOTE THE ECONOMIC GROWTH. i don't even know why i am saying this...i can't expect the provincial government to be anymore "CANADIAN public oriented" than its big brother the federal government, who is having planes built to a tune of billions by...you got it??? A FOREIGN COUNTRY.
so.....the moral of the story is....IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT PARTY GETS IN...THEY WILL SCREW YA OVER ANYWAY.
maybe i need to run for PRIME MINISTER!!!
NOW WITH THAT BEING SAID.....here is my next grief. and this one is a BIG ONE!!!
if you think that pissed you off wait for this....
HAVE YOU NOTICED THAT THE COST OF YOUR HYDRO HAS INCREASED???
DID YOU KNOW AT THE END OF 2010 CANADA HAD A SURPLUS OF ELECTRICITY???
DID YOU KNOW THAT WE PAID THE USA TO TAKE IT OFF OUR HANDS ON NEW YEARS EVE???
(told ya you'd be pissed)
yes it is all true. Canada had a surplus of electricity because of the warm fall and low usage. so rather than allow Canadians to turn up the furnace a degree or two, they gave it away.....AND PAID A COUNTRY TO TAKE IT!!!!!
now one might say....hey..this is ok. we can't store it!? so what the heck, SELL IT!
LET ME MAKE THIS PERFECTLY CLEAR AGAIN.... WE PAID THEM TO TAKE IT!!!!
AS WE SIT THROUGH THE LAST FEW BITTER DAYS THIS WEEK.....i wonder how warm our neighbours to the south are???
WHAT'S NEXT......OUR WATER???
LOL...you think that's funny. hate to tell ya this, but they have that too. you think i am kidding?? I AM NOT. Los Angeles is in such need of water that the government wants to run a pipeline from Alaska down.....think about that as you turn on your tap. appreciate the water PEOPLE....one day you might turn it on and it will be gone.
ENOUGH SAID......
QUOTE OF THE DAY.....
There isn't a single windmill owner in Holland who doesn't have a second job, for when there is no wind.
