The issue with wind is that we can't control when it blows and generally it doesn't happen during peak demand. We end up trying to sell it off to other markets at a loss, so as not to overload the grid.
Quebec has the lowest rates, Ontario is almost at the top. So not sure what you consider stupid about his post.

Exactly. In fact I would go so far as to say his post declaring my post to be the most stupid thing ever said, as being the dumbest post ever on gfy.
He's from Quebec though so he obviously hasn't been following the electricity boondoggle in Ontario created by the liberals.
We have more power than we need already, so much so that we have to pay people to take it, yet they continue to subsidize the building of new wind farms and have consequently ended up saddling Ontario with the most expensive electricity in Canada, with rates set to climb another 40% on top of that. Factories are dropping like flies in Ontario because of the utility rates alone. Forget unions. electricity is the new job killer.
