All you people out there complaining about your hydro prices need to realize some important facts about the Kathleen Wynne government.
- The global adjustment charge on your hydro bill is to pay for the giant industrial wind turbines Wynne has placed all over rural Ontario.
- Wind turbines a useless technology that destroys our rural environment, ruins people’s health and poisons our drinking water aquifers.
- The only reason these turbines were erected was so Liberal insiders and their friends could get filthy rich.
- Wynne will not cancel the turbine projects or reduce the subsidies because the turbine lobbyists know where the political bodies are buried.
- Wynne has taken away the democratic rights of the people for her own financial and political gain.
- Wynne has sacrificed the health of rural citizens just so her friends can get rich.
- In a few year’s time, when it inevitably collapses, this wind turbine scam will be revealed for what it is: An enormous government-backed Ponzi scheme, founded on greed, corruption and stupidity.

FYI
You can’t begin to count or imagine how much money has been spent on medical care for those of us whose houses are surrounded by [in our case] – 84 IWTs.
I’ve been to Emerg ~ more than once a year with several hospital stays for as long as 5 days since the IWTs started affecting my head and inner ear [stuffed and loss of balance].
After hours clinics, too, have been often attended because of nausea and vomiting.
To think that all of this could have been prevented is downright enraging. The frightening experiences you have had, Johana, could have been prevented. Many people know how distressing it is when one’s body suddenly is not functioning properly.
Germany was always held up as a model for industrial scale wind and now take a look at this article where a German executive calls it a ‘huge botch’!

Ontario’s ‘leaders ‘fooled the public’ and rural residents have had their human right to safety, security and pleasure in their own homes violated. Essentially they’ve been abused and then further abused by the lack of acknowledgement and protective measures taken by our government.
This was an industry led, government supported offence.
Anyone looking at the ‘Explicit Cautionary Notice’ put out by the Waubra Foundation would see clearly that peoples’ lives have been endangered by Ontario’s siting policy.

Some history of IEA and IRENA. IRENA Est. January 2009. Both have European origins.

Compare both Reports.
Renewable energy mandates enacted at the provincial/state level are another example of policy making at the sub-national level.
There going to have to work very hard to ‘win the hearts and minds’ . Pity the people who are up against this kind of opposition.
An executive in Germany calls industrial wind a’huge botch’. See for yourself.

Ok people I have endured these same complaints since 2004. The meetings, the newspaper write-ups, the lost time from work, the closing businesses, the fines, the police reports, the fund raisers, the lawyers retainers, the rallies, the ministry visits, etc., etc., all for nothing. The Dalton gang listen to no-one and even bypassing provincial and federal laws has created no ramifications towards the Liberals after multiple elections. The kickbacks, the patronage, the work camps, the cover-ups, environmental concerns, the child labour, all old news, real old, 10+ years.
Many years ago the Green Energy Act was explained like this.
Green, (money), Energy, (movement), Act, (from one place to another).
Money moving from the many to the few!
We need a new approach! Quickly!

The public should be aware of these grid reliability concerns when considering using renewable energy such as wind and solar power.
