Comment Re:Address? Nothing to address, we're told. (Score 1) 364

Look, my point was not about the climate change being the cause of utility bills going up.
It was about how local politicians choose to react to pressure from the environment protection groups, left media and other socialists to the climate change.
I called this "the climate change hysteria".
IMO they could replace coal with natural gas (that's gone down in cost at least 50% in the last 10 years) and increase the water slice (you could buy it cheap in Quebec) instead of increasing the slice of the expensive nuclear and wasting hundred of millions on subsidizing the windmills and solars.
To illustrate my point, this is the mix of 2003:
Water power 23.5%
Alternative Power Sources 0.7%
Nuclear Energy 38.5%
Natural Gas 8.4%
Coal or Oil 28.9%

and this is the mix of 2014:
Water power 24.1%
Alternative power sources 7.1%
Nuclear Energy 60.0%
Natural Gas 8.7 %
Coal 0.1 %

I trust you'd be able to get the difference.
I really don't have time to argue with you, sorry, I'm not an idiot and done/know all about consumption, conservation, price etc.
All the best to you, cheers.

Here's your answer*:

*Spoiler: It's not because of climate change!

Please don't offend my intelligence.

Despite a mild winter which saw Ontarians conserve electricity, hydro rates are set to increase next month because we saved too much energy.

Typical socialist propaganda: blame the society.
It happened because the climate change hysteria made the Ontario Liberals to cut off all sources of cheaper electricity, what's why.
It happened because the climate change hysteria made the Ontario Liberals to make us to rely on non-manageable generators of expensive electricity without any ability to store it, what's why.

So you'd rather just offload the costs on to the next generation? Because in fifty years, the costs you pay now will be nothing compared to what local and larger scale economies will have to pay out.

How do you know? And why does it mean I'll have to pay more taxes? How is it doled out? The Chinese economy is larger than of the Ontario's, do they pay same or more taxes on CO2?
