It is nuclear not nulcearRight. So what are you going to give up? Your phone, computer, dishwasher, fridge, flatsscreen, air conditioner etc?
We as a society as we we go more electronic with more population will use more energy. That's the bottom line.
And it has to be a consistent supply. Present renewables don't supply that. Nulcear will until the technologies for renewables are better. Maybe 40+ years down the road.
Ok Teach...by the way it's exclusive, not "excluse". How about we don't play spelling cop?It is nuclear not nulcear
yes that is all true but I would use gas before nuclear. We can ratchet down use with massive insulation, reduced lighting, high efficiency products. Read George Monbiot. Wind turbine in the sea using DC, excluse bus lanes on major highways, toll roads, cover the Sahara with solar panels, .... it is do it or die.
I would paraphrase that column as "the Liberals are acting like liberals. i can't seem to persuade them to act like conservatives." WTF.Sue-Ann Levy is a nice hairy unshaved dyke, with strong conservative musings, but is often out a a tree limb, and sawing it off at the same time.

I don't mind having to pay taxes for the improvement of our society, but not when our governments at all levels piss away our money.Increase in taxes? Great idea. The government is not run for your welfare. It is run for the benefit of the whole society. Social mobility is slowing down services are stretched to the limit, infrastructure is crumbling, what this province needs is a tax increase.
I gladly pay. It is the price of a civilized society.
The think is people don't agree on what is piss. Harper is pissing away my money on the army, prisons, and oil subsidies in my opinion. He should tax the rich more and really go after offshore accounts.I don't mind having to pay taxes for the improvement of our society, but not when our governments at all levels piss away our money.
As I said on the weekend, you're dreaming.Yes but conservation is a far better bridge.
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/glob...ar-option/article15355550/#dashboard/follows/Politicians who suggest that “renewables” will pave the way to a carbon-free future are either delusional or deceptional. Wind and solar power are unreliable options with short track records. Their power can’t be stored and, unlike new reactors with 50-year lifespans, they have exhibited alarmingly high failure rates.
It is simply irresponsible to suggest that wind, solar or biomass can be more than complementary power sources. They may not even be that green. Ontario’s increasing reliance on natural-gas-fired generation to back up intermittent wind proves that overinvestment in renewables can actually lead to higher carbon emissions. And while the province will soon close its last coal plant, plans to reduce nuclear will result in more carbon over time.
Not everyone would disagree with the government cutting unnecessary spending. I suspect the real problem is a fear of making decisions.If you expect a minority Liberal government to do more things to make themselves unpopular between now and the election for the convenience of Timmy, you are really naive.
In fact, the original post was about the Wynne government's phony claims that the government is "on track" to balance the books.If we go back to the original post, Tories seem to work themselves into a frenzy when Liberals and Social Democrats (total vote 62%) refuse to do what opposition Tories tell them to do although they represent about 33% of the vote.
Balancing the books is vastly overrated. There are many much higher priorities. Tories just dont get that.In fact, the original post was about the Wynne government's phony claims that the government is "on track" to balance the books.
It was the Wynne government that made the ridiculous claim that Ontario "remains on track" to balance the books.Balancing the books is vastly overrated. There are many much higher priorities. Tories just dont get that.
Because people like the Ford nation like easy to understand concepts.It was the Wynne government that made the ridiculous claim that Ontario "remains on track" to balance the books.
If it's so overrated and not a priority, why are the Liberals making that claim? Particularly when you consider that it's based on projections that simply aren't believable.
Try to pay attention:It was the Wynne government that made the ridiculous claim that Ontario "remains on track" to balance the books.

You're blaming Kathleen's dishonesty on Ford Nation?Because people like the Ford nation like easy to understand concepts.
So Hudak will go after the unions, telling us how those decent wages are dragging us all down and Wynne will say she'll keep services and balance the budget.
Don't worry. I've been paying attention. And it's clear to me that you're tripping over your own feet as you try to defend the indefensible.Try to pay attention:
Tories would balance it faster of course they would slash health, education, environment etc to do it.
Liberals would balance it but take longer, do less damage.
NDP would take even longer to benefit from growth and do no damage to those critical services above.
Any idiot can balance the budget. The point is how.
Actually, the point is all too clear: If the Liberals' budget plans are as popular as you claim, there's no reason for the Liberals to be lying about them.You are a tory partisan who cannot see past your bias. Your post makes no sense whatsoever.
What is this "true agenda"?Actually, the point is all too clear: If the Liberals' budget plans are as popular as you claim, there's no reason for the Liberals to be lying about them.
