To Premiere McGuinty
“Truth needs no laws to support it.
Only lies require laws to force them upon the public.”
Quote:
The best-kept secret of the wind industry, however, which continues to fool both politicians and the media, is its trick of referring only to the contribution of windmills in terms of their installed capacity, as if that is what they will actually deliver. They talk about a “16 megawatt” wind farm “powering x thousand homes as if that is the contribution it will make to our electricity needs. Yet in reality, thanks to the intermittency of the wind, a turbine will on average produce through the year only a quarter of its capacity.
The success of this deception means that politicians almost invariably exaggerate the potential benefits of wind power by a factor of four. And of course the other great trick is to conceal the fact that all this must be paid for by that huge hidden subsidy.
The real danger of the great wind scam is that it takes the eyes of politicians off the real energy crisis fast approaching us, so that we are not building the proper power stations we need to keep our lights on. That is why it will one day be looked back on as having been one of the most incomprehensible blunders of our age. By Christopher Booker Telegraph 13 September 2008
I resent being called a NIMBY by you and Mr. Smitherman and I have copied your comments to as many people as I can to let them know what Ontario’s leader does when he can’t get his way. As if resorting to schoolyard tactics of name calling will cow the electors, really!
You have no grounds for this bulldozing tactic and you know it!
