Ontario’s Green Energy Fiasco — A Cautionary Tale For The United States

In 2002, when coal provided about 25 percent of our electricity, Ontario had the lowest electricity prices in Canada. We were the nation’s powerhouse with hundreds of thousands of well paid, manufacturing jobs.


Probably the most annoying part of this article is that a) it's marked as opinion, and b) comments are disabled. So we can't point out the error in this guys reasoning. We are left to simply accept his opinion by divine fiat, because apparently he's a reporter and he knows everything , and if we have a different opinion we need to shut up and not question  him. 
 
 
The decline in Manufacturing is probably more dependent on 3D printers, which are coming into play (albeit 20 000$ for  a printer isn't cheap , but it's cheaper than a single worker for a year at a manufacturing plant) . 

We're not allowed to point this out. 
Shutting down the coal fire plants is presented as an evil thing. He goes on to claim wind turbines are causing many health problems (a wind mill is making you sick ? Give me a break ! ) 

And then demand that climate change supporters prove that climate change is a real thing , as if it wasn't obvious to everyone on the planet there's only so much fossil fuels and they're running out. 

"Official" reporters seem to think they're god and can sprout any nonsense these days, and they don't want to hear different from anyone. 

That's fairly offensive , in the days of online forums. Sheesh , I wish blogspot would allow a short forum for every post I make so I could get feed back. Though I suspect the user comments count as that, in a limited fashion.
