Baiting the Left

Scramble their Brains (more likely Fire and Forget)
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation

George Jonas: The birth of my social conscience

28 Comments

 The Wall Street occupiers remind me of a hungry boy who guilted me out of my breakfast.

The “Occupy Wall Street” movement baffles observers. What do the protesters want? I think I know. Sixty five years have passed since one accosted me at the other end of the world, whining and cursing, to arouse a nuisance organ in my soul, dormant and vestigial, called empathy, a.k.a. social conscience. The New York demonstrators are speaking in his voice.

My social conscience awakens a few minutes before eight o’clock on a sunny September morning in 1946. I remember the precise moment.

The war is over. My native Budapest is gradually emerging from the ruins. I am 11 years old, walking briskly to school, taking a bite from my breakfast bun as I go. My mother has packed another roll in my school bag for my lunch. The bag is strapped to my back, leaving my hands free to finish my bun. Mother disapproves of eating in the street — it’s uncouth — but also disapproves of me going without breakfast: It’s unhealthy. Read More »

Yoni Goldstein: If your Jewish friends seem depressed on Yom Kippur, this is why

Rosh Hashanah, the new-year celebration that Jews observed last week, is a time for serious reflection. Yom Kippur, on the other hand, is a day of psychic terror.

This Saturday, the destiny of every person will be indelibly stamped for the next year. It is zero-hour: Either you will be marked to live or you will be marked to die.
Among the liturgy of Yom Kippur, there is no more terrifying prayer than the Unetaneh Tokef. It is the centrepiece of the day, a blunt reminder of man’s evanescence. “Like a shepherd pasturing his flock, making sheep pass under his staff, so shall [God] calculate and consider the soul of all the living Read More...

Perhaps most enlightening of all is this interview with Lloyd Hart, author of the Occupy Wall Street Demands post. I have little doubt that Mr. Hart deeply believes what he's saying. The fact that he has NO CLUE into human character provides a valuable teaching moment into what precisely is wrong with the Leftist mindset ... and why Leftist public policies almost always end up in abject failure.

Ontario’s Power Trip: The $4,000 electricity bill

Electricity rates will double, making them among the highest in the developed world

By Glenn Fox and Parker Gallant

While attending an Energy Probe board of directors meeting almost a year ago (we are both directors), several of us around the table — as might be expected — discussed the Ontario government’s Green Energy Act and wondered aloud about the hidden costs associated with the act. Some speculated that the act might lead to a doubling of Ontario’s power rates. Could that possibly be true?

The discussions, which carried on after the meeting, led to a decision by the two of us to pursue a study to cost out the act’s embedded costs, focusing on the numerous “directives” the Minister of Energy, Brad Duguid, and his predecessor, George Smitherman had issued to the Ontario Power Authority. These directives drove the creation of a jaw-dropping panoply of initiatives — the feed-in-tariff (FIT) program, conservation, the Samsung contract, Ontario content mandates, community power programs, nuclear refurbishment, transmission expansion to accommodate the renewables, and job creation — just to mention a few.

When we commenced our study, the plan was to encompass as much as possible that the directives contained. But as we soon discovered, covering everything would require a lot more time and effort than we could reasonably offer, delaying the results. Our position was also crystallized when the Energy Minister, Brad Duguid released his Long Term Energy Plan (LTEP), shortly after we had started our study.

We decided to focus only on renewable energy for wind and solar. The result, a study entitled Omitted Costs, Inflated Benefits: Renewable Energy Policy in Ontario, was released Oct. 1 by the peer-reviewed Bulletin of Science & Society. The study examines the additional costs to Ontario ratepayers omitted in the ministry’s LTEP, and the ministry’s claim that ratepayers’ electricity bills would increase by 46% by 2015, followed by a more modest increase after that, for an average 3.5% annual increase for the period 2010 to 2030.

Our study effectively finds that the ministry was remiss in not quantifying the knock-on effects of the push for 8,400 MW of industrial wind generation plants and the 2,600 MW of solar plants that are needed to achieve the goals outlined in the LTEP.

For example, the ministry did not adequately account for the fact that wind and solar require backup fossil-fuel generation to ensure no blackouts or brownouts occur. Solar will underperform when Ontario experiences cloud cover, and wind power underperforms when the wind dies down. Texas with almost 10,000 MW of installed wind capacity during a hot, dry and wind-deficient 2011 summer experienced rolling blackouts and had to restart mothballed coal plants. This provides real-time affirmation of the dangers in an Ontario system over-dependent on renewables.

Our study also brings out important issues such as the predilection of wind to produce power at the wrong time. Wrong-time delivery can be costly, causing Ontario to export power at a significant cost, to build expensive transmission facilities to manage wind and solar’s unpredictability, and to spill cheap hydro. These all deplete revenues for Ontario Power Generation, thereby extending the time required before the province’s “stranded debt” can be extinguished.

The Ontario Green Act promised to create 50,000 jobs. Our study concludes that each of those jobs will require a ratepayer subsidy of $200,000 annually, which effectively means that — as the LTEP reaches fruition — $10-billion will be extracted from ratepayers each year.

For the average ratepayer, an annual electricity bill will escalate from $1,700 per year to $2,800 by 2015 and by the time the renewables envisaged in the LTEP are largely in place (expected in 2018) an average ratepayer will be paying in excess of $4,000 annually — well over a doubling. Put another way Ontario’s ratepayers will be paying in excess of 40¢ per kWh, placing them on a par with Denmark, which suffers the highest cost of electricity in the developed world.

Enough with the Race Card!


I was explaining to a Mexican visitor the other day that the Left's tried & true technique to shut down all debate on anything in Canada is to simply say, "We don't want any American-style ________ {fill in the blank however you wish}." This immediately stifles all real public discussion on the subject.

In America, a similar despicable technique has been deployed, in which you only need declare your opponent a "racist" and you've been able to destroy them and their arguments. This has worked very effectively for decades. Until now. Fair-minded Americans have grown absolutely fed up with the race card being played over & over & over again by Obama's foot soldiers, simply because someone "dares" disagree with his policies, most of which have been very destructive to America.

The latest race baiter is actor Morgan Freeman. Rex Murphy isn't having any of it. Neither are Dennis Miller or Herman Cain:

Solar Energy School Propaganda 101
By Michelle Malkin • September 30, 2011 12:01 AM
 






We Don't Need No Stinking Giant Mirrors

Via Walter Russell Mead;

Solar-power equipment manufacturer Stirling Energy Systems Inc. has filed for bankruptcy, adding to a wave of troubles in the solar industry amid soft demand, falling prices and difficulty raising money. [… ] Both [of the company’s plants] were sited on public land in California and obtained fast-track construction pemits from the Obama administration.
Mead notes ...

But there’s another factor behind the failure of so many Obama administration initiatives in this field. Because alternative energy generation is expensive and inefficient, it requires some combination of subsidies, high energy prices and forced purchases to make these investments pay off.

I remember the days when SDA was a lonely incandescent bulb of green energy truth, lighting a path through the blogosphere wilderness. Nowadays, it seems everyone's jumping on the bandwagon. Still, when you read the word "investments" in a sentence like that above, one realizes there's still work to be done. (h/t Instapundit)

the Sad Reality...



Politics is about who gets what, when, and how.
Let’s apply that famous definition to Dalton McGuinty’s Ontario: Who has been getting what?

Thanks to the Ottawa Citizen, we know that Liberal-held provincial ridings have been getting almost 80% of provincial job-creation funds. “The Eastern Ontario Development Fund — a program designed to attract new business investment — has granted Liberal ridings on average $4 million since it was created in 2008, more than twice the $1.7 million averaged by Conservative-held ridings,” the Citizen reports. “In total, the fund has dispensed $40.5 million, according to figures released by the province. Nearly four-fifths of that money, or 78.4 per cent, has gone to Liberal ridings. The two highest-granted ridings belong to Liberal cabinet ministers. Consumer Services Minister John Gerretsen’s riding of Kingston and the Islands received the most, $7.7 million in provincial handouts, or 19.1 per cent of the total. The next highest-funded riding was Prince Edward-Hastings, which belongs to Education Minister Leona Dombrowsky. Her riding received $6 million, or 14.8 per cent of the program funding.” Read More »
