I am utterly disgusted at the complete mess the current and previous Liberal governments have made of our Ontario hydro system. The price of electricity was reasonable, for Ontarians at home, scroll, business, industry, and farming, until gross stupidity, cronyism, greed, and self-interest made the present debacle. These are facts. Our once beautiful Ontario landscapes and cherished local farmlands and wildlife habitats have been punctured, desecrated, and demolished by industrial wind turbines which are the OPPOSITE of "green" technology. Severe harms to people's health living at all near these monstrosities are the norm. Scientifically proven effects of infrasound created by these wasteful killers of birds and bats have been routinely denied by government hacks in diverse departments. Radiations from so-called "Smart Meters" routinely harm unsuspecting homeowners and renters. Wastefulness is encouraged, not curtailed, by provincially mandated "recycling" programmes. Spendthrift governments have thrown away and given away the enormous advantage given us by such genius benefactors as Nikola Tesla who built the Niagara turbines. I do hope that karma is fact, for human courts and justice can never make the perpetrators of these frauds and thefts of our energy, money, and health.
Where to from here? An intelligent and responsible energy programme in Ontario will henceforth refuse such draconian, greedy, and mendaciously justified waste of our precious resources. Commercial water bottling by corporations must be refused. Our water is NOT FOR SALE. Hydro electricity, clean electricity, will stay in our province and benefit our own residents and taxpayers first. Overage will be sold to other provinces at a rate equal to or higher than what we pay. No more will be sold for a pittance to the U.S. States. Biofuels will be developed and intelligently used. Ruinous contracts with the industrial wind turbine purveyors and operators will be halted and contested in court as fraudulent and harmful to human and animal health and commerce in Ontario. Restitution will be exacted from those who rammed these monsters down our throats. Conservation will become our first principle of operation. The use of Improved solar energy, geothermal, and biomass energy technologies will be encouraged. Vehicles and industries that guzzle and waste energy will be so heavily taxed and penalized that they lose all their allure for greedy and image-conscious corporate entities and individuals. The respect for and preservation of the vitality and integrity of the earth and water of Ontario and Canada as a whole will be made the sine qua non of human comfort. Ethical, intelligent energy conservation, creation, and innovations will be rewarded. Less is more, small is beautiful, will become operating principles of energy use.
