There’s No Place Like This
Mr. McGuinty announced his latest project today: 7 billion dollars goes to South Korea, for which a consortium led by Samsung will build and set up wind and solar farms across Ontario. The government has guaranteed them to pay above-market prices for green power. For all this, they’ll create 15,000 jobs.
So, to recap, we’re paying Samsung to build unproven wind and solar farms, and we’ll be buying over-priced power from them after. In addition, we paid nearly half a million dollars for each job created.
How does this help us?
I suppose the commercial is right: there is no place like McGuinty’s Ontario…

McGuinty must really hate the people of Ontario or he really is insane.

We can look to Norway as an failed model! Expensive rates and use of fossil fuel continues.
