"The region that produces North America’s cheapest power faces a threat that seemed impossible just a few years ago — running short of electricity."

"Quebec spent years working to convince US states to buy its abundant clean energy, only to realize now that it won’t be able to produce enough electricity by harnessing the flow of moving water. That creates a conundrum for the Canadian province: build more dams that could reshape pristine rivers and slash swaths of forests — an environmentally damaging process that would boost hydropower supply — or temper economic policies that pin its prosperity on the resource."

"Quebec also attracted large-scale power users including General Motors Co. and Amazon.com Inc. Energy requests from such industrial and commercial consumers now represent as much as half of Hydro-Quebec’s generating capacity, boosting tensions with residential users who are already being encouraged to conserve energy."

"“We are the victims of our success,” said Philippe Dunsky, president of Dunsky Energy + Climate Advisors. “I don’t think that anyone knew just how quickly demand for clean power was going to pivot.”"

How many of you guys remeber the "going to the metric system" debacle? Seems like this is going to crap the bed the same way.

I grew up outside Niagara Falls. I toured the Sir Adam Beck #2 power station on a field trip in school. Amazing what can be done. However later on growing up (and they probably told us this back then too) was that most of the power generated in the 3 plants at Niagara were sold and used elsewhere. The local region (if I remember right) was purchasing the power used from a nuclear plant somewhere. And this 20 years ago. More than 25 since that field trip for sure. It’s not about “pivoting on green energy” it’s about and always has been about the damn dollar.

You guys figure that one out.

LMAO... I'm not sure what I'm shocked by... (or maybe not shocked at all I guess)

That Mr. Great Rest (Klaus Schwab) has a bust of Vladimir Lenin in his office, or that he's so open about it? It certainly wasn't an accident.

You'd only do something like that if

1.) You knew for certain that all the information gate keepers were 100% in the tank for your real mission.

2.) You knew the only place this would show up as controversial would be in "alternative media" that never gets to the low-information-voters (who essentially decide elections), thereby enabling you to laugh off criticism as conspiracy theories if you're challenged publicly.

3.) You want to send a message to the "true believers". The people who are the most fervent believers in your climate change cult are already communists/communist-sympathizers themselves and agree with your true mission, and you believe this buys you "street cred" in their eyes.

Don't get me started about the WEF :D


"Welcome to the year 2030. Welcome to my city - or should I say, "our city." I don't own anything. I don't own a car. I don't own a house. I don't own any appliances or any clothes."

"Once in a while I get annoyed about the fact that I have no real privacy. Nowhere I can go and not be registered. I know that, somewhere, everything I do, think and dream of is recorded. I just hope that nobody will use it against me."

And I have noticed that everywhere I go online they want my smartphone number. Seems odd. House phone doesn't work these days for a lot of businesses. But then my "smartphone" is a Trac Fone that might be here today and gone tomorrow.

"A proposed Consumer Product Safety Commission rule limits the amount of carbon monoxide a product can emit, with the commission admitting that 95 percent of portable gas generators on the market cannot comply with its new standard. As a result, industry leaders say, the rule will prompt widespread generator shortages, as manufacturers only have six months to design generators that meet the proposed regulation. That process normally takes years, Portable Generator Manufacturers' Association executive director Susan Orenga told the Washington Free Beacon."


Although to be fair, this has been bubbling up since the Obama administration, from what I read in the .pdf at cpsc.gov - https://www.cpsc.gov/s3fs-public/Su...df?VersionId=zxwp.NpJj8nNCxLf7CIp3zMVqLB1MrgE . I think the 6 month timeframe is unreasonable.
