So as our awesome ontario liberal government (starting with Mcguinty and carrying on with Wynne) is closing our efficient coal fired electric plant (OPG), the americans are keeping theirs open- apart from this one.

and that's a discussion for another day.

I heard that was a very popular event with the Sarnians , lol.

The Liberals have jacked up hydro rates 70% in short order, wasted millions of dollars with messed up / corrupted gas contracts, while chasing industry out of the Province. A 10% rate increase is coming as a New Years gift to all of us on Jan 1st, 2016, I keep telling my son to get a good education that he can take with him to other parts of North America, and get the F*%$# out of this Province if he can. Unfortunately I don't have that option.

I think ideal situation would have been to have an NDP government, but that's just never going to happen.

I am more tempted by the TESLA home battery system to get off the grid completely. The unit itself would be paid in 2.5 years with my current electric rates and usage, athough, i think i would need 2 units to power my house. Then, i'd still need to buy solar panels.

maybe i'll just get a bunch of hamsters and large- really large- hamster wheel.
