Health Services posted:The Herbert Norman affair was utterly shameful. I gotta say that I'm not entirely surprised the Privy Council authorized wiretaps either because in 1952 they were openly musing about the pros and cons of charging a former United Church minister who was pro-PRC with treason (which would have meant he would have been executed).

To improve the generation mix of the power consumed off the grid, and to add to the economics of renewable generation and encourage further investment in it. One house's footprint probably doesn't matter much, but neither does the small premium.

Wistful of Dollars posted:Pretty sure that the essay i wrote when I was 16 was more thought out and helpful than this libertarian nonsense. A pathetic man who I know through a friend grew up very poor until his mother dated a guy with money. For a few years he got to know the good life, living in a large house with a pool in a good area, then the break up happened and he returned to living his old life. He writes long Facebook posts about how the people living on assistance (his mother) are leeches on society and the working class (his father) are paid too much, with high minimum wages killing businesses. He has been trying to break into working for the Conservative Party for years and travels the country working temporary, minimum wage jobs and writing lovely opinion articles for free on crazy Far Right websites that I've never heard of. He also presents at workshops and conferences, I have no idea. When he needs money he contacts family and begs for ticket money home, then lives off them until he lines up another job in Toronto/ Montreal/ wherever, then disappears for a few months or a year. If he wasn't such an rear end in a top hat to everyone, both online and real life, I'd feel bad for him.

I highly recommend this week's Conrad Black column, as Connie no longer even acknowledges that Trump could have flaws, so perfect and wholesome have his last few weeks been. It's the most entertainment you can get out of the Canadian media. I'd say he's angling for a pardon but he might have figured out he has a shot at a cabinet post at this rate.

infernal machines posted:Since you drive an EV, aren't you essentially doing this already? Sure, but it's only a cost premium if there's a way I could get it cheaper. Otherwise it's like complaining that Loblaws doesn't sell me apples at cost. I want to improve the generation mix in part because I have an EV. I use an extra ~200kWh/month for the car, and I'd rather not be literally rolling coal. If there's a more efficient way to add offsetting amounts of renewable power to the grid, I'm all ears. Otherwise the premium doesn't really affect my financial wellbeing, and I'm waiting a while to see how home solar stuff progresses.

I'm not aware of one, but I'm willing to endure clever barbs to learn more. I'll argue that you should not want to do it and you could get better for cheaper. Okay, so the business premise in Ontario is that Bullfrog does create additional windmills and the province would not adjust their windmill plans around them. Let's assume that's true because Ontario overbuilt a shitload of windmills and now abruptly halted plans to build more http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/ontario-electricity-plans-1.3780440 Bullfrog essentially sells you Green Electricity Certificates to their installations for about $25/MWh of green electricity. Now you're subsidizing the creation of more windmills and more oversupply which fucks up electricity costs for the rest of the province because we need to sell our existing oversupply of 80 cent solar, 11 cent wind, 6 cent hydro and 5 cent nuclear to other jurisdictions for 1.61 cents. This cost also gets added on to your electricity bill in the form of higher base electricity prices so at least you pay for it twice. It also ignores and takes money away from the existing "non-green" suppliers that have the best chance of lowering our emissions, large hydro and nuclear. Cheapest way to achieve better results? Spread the word about how awesome nuclear is, no charge at all. Or invest directly with a co-op or something like https://www.solarbonds.ca/. Or if you aren't super rock hard for renewables, you could get more bang for your buck with something tax deductible like http://www.natureconservancy.ca And of course bullfrog bugs me because they're just so successful with the marketing. It's like diamonds, the physical object doesn't bother me but the massive marketing and cut throat business around it are offputting. It's so predictable in our society that there would be a gold rush to profit off of Green Guilt. quote:Andrew Heintzman is the brother of Tom Heintzman, the president of Bullfrog Power. In his book The New Entrepreneurs he talks about the genesis of Bullfrog. Except in 2015+ Ontario, those dirty plants are nuclear, large hydro and natural gas, which is necessary to back up wind on calm days anyway.

So why is solarbonds better than bullfrog in terms of how it affects oversupply? Isn't adding more solar as bad as adding more wind? I've looked at them a bit, but I'll admit that a guaranteed 5% return on illiquid bonds made me raise an eyebrow. I may put some money into them in the future, though.

It's not better, I just meant it would be a better option if you were hellbent on investing in new renewables in Ontario as a means to lower global greenhouse gases. I like solar a little more than wind for oversupply, the sun tends to be shining when we use electricity most. Wish it was cheaper, I've debated getting a rooftop installation as well but I've missed the good subsidies boat.

For big installations, solar pays 19.2 cents and wind pays 12.5. http://fit.powerauthority.on.ca/sites/default/files/2017-FIT-Price-Schedule.pdf For small rooftop 10kw which is the typical rural thing, 28.8 cents. I pay 25.67 now. E: All to say, solar is more expensive but we waste less of it so I'd bet it ends up being cheaper for the province at those rates. Not at the 80c crazy initial rates.
