Electricity prices are soaring in states generating the most wind power, U.S. Energy Information Administration data show. Although U.S. electricity prices rose less than 3 percent from 2008-2013, the 10 states with the highest percentage of wind power generation experienced average electricity price increases of more than 20 percent.
funny stuff. Ontario is killing industry and sucking money from seniors and others who do not have the ability to increase their incomes to try and offset the insane increase that wind and solar power has cost.
The intermittent electricity provided by wind and solar requires an equal backup requirement provided by coventional sources like oil and gas. With wind power generation you are essentially shooting yourself in the foot or the wallet in this case.
“…from 2008-2013,the 10 states with the highest percentage of wind power generation experienced average electricity price increases of more than 20 percent.”
Wimps! Sissies! Ontario hydro bills go up 10 percent a year! And the voters asked for it!
Would a list of friendliest yokel states where corrupting rent seekers can fleece
the gullible without fear of arrest have any similarities in their rankings?
It doesn’t matter where in the world Wind Power comes to, the result is the same. Over subsidized installations that produce power when NO ONE NEEDS it. It is subsequently sold off at prices well below their contracted rates and who pays the difference…???
The Consumer.
The only winners are politicians who grab the kickbacks from money grubbing wind power companies.
Are you Listening Notley..??
Windturbines maming birds and bats,making horrible noises and not bring down the energy bills wind energy like solar energy a total fruad likmost of the idiotic ideas from the eco-freaks
The gigantic lie continues.
I found the following article by Dr. Tim Ball in NewsWatchCanada. It is quite lengthy but it explains how largely leftist controlled government environment departments took over the climate agenda and Maurice Strong’s role in this takeover.

“I for one am glad that Al Gore gets to live like a Rockefeller at my expense” said no utility consumer ever.
Yup, the voters knowingly voted in the same government they knew were corrupt repeatedly lied to them to get elected. The adage fool me once…. was lost on them, now we have a dictator who is doing as she damned well pleases and she’s telling us it’s all for our own good, mommy knows best.
Ontario seniors will be in a worse fix if Wynne’s efforts to get Trudeau elected so she can manipulate him for more federal money are successful. We need to warn the rest of Canada what a disaster this pair would be for the entire country.
Marice Strong just another leftists liberal america bashing blabbering nincompoop and all around jerk
wynnes a mum?
how did that happen?
She was married – to a man – and had 3 children. Came out as a lesbian at age 37 according to Wikipedia.
The G7 just met again. # 1 priority: Climate change. Canada and Japan relunctantly agreed to sign a treaty that plans no more carbon based energy by 2100 which are spearheaded mainly by the US and Germany, 2 big promoters of a UN world government.
The lie is not going away and it has nothing to do with the temperature or the climate.
Agenda 21 is still alive and well. We are just a financial meltdown followed by a brink of WWIII away from civilization voting their destinies away to avoid the now unsavory fact of fighting for one’s freedom.
The Eloi society that has been slowly but steadily crafted will come to it’s final stage.
