If You Are Leaning Toward McGinty

...the following might give you some insight into McGinty's Green Energy Act. which promotes the manufacture and installation of wind turbines and the like. ("The single best green energy program on the North American continent," according to no less an authority than Al Gore.)

Solar Energy School Propaganda 101

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)

David Frum: Who’s won and who’s lost in Dalton McGuinty’s Ontario

29 Comments

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 »

Tough on crime, soft on criminals: This is I think the best description of where I stand on such matters, and even I’m not sure it makes any sense or has any internal logic.

As A Diehard Conservative...

...I am waiting for Hudak to come out with a kick ass platform that will deal with employment, debt, health care for seniors etc. Right now IMHO polls are showing disdain for McGoonty not championing Hudak.

Hudak headed for majority in Ontario: poll


The Forum Research poll of 3,198 people suggests that 41% of Ontario voters will vote for the PCs, 26% support the reigning Liberal Party, 22% want the NDP to win, and 8% back the Green Party

Come'on Tim....

...you are going to have to put a lot more on the table!

We Can Only Hope And Pray...

but the sad truth is that Hudak has a lot of work to do and very little time.
