The maddening part is, those on social assistance (and there are a lot) or the flood of refugees that Ontario has opened our doors to, could not give a crap to the price of electricity. For them, it's ALL paid for. And yes, my best friend at the time, did have his engineering degree paid for by Ontario Hydro.

As with any other company there is a training program . Let time I looked I am currently holding 247 active credits in various topics. It is cheaper for the company to send a known good employee to school for some additional training as required vs the cost of sighing a raw employee off the street and risking they may not make it through all the training and also be a useful employee. For a post secondary degree , the employee will attend a conventional university during evenings, weekends and take online courses. In fact Mrs B&D has been attending night school for the past 1-1/2 years. Does the navy pay to train recruits to be nuclear specialists ? Tell us what the difference is.

LOL.

Ironically, it looks like we are a bigger problem for other mammals than radiation.

I thought he was a figment of a hollywood producers' imagination.

Do the math.....4992.4 Kwh on the bill and 147 Kph average use per day.

I did, WOW! I thought my bill was high!

A known 'good employee' is likely to stick around the company, where a 'new hire' off the street could possibly take the newly acquired education and run.

I had to make certain.......There are blue and green haired , tattooed and pierced "interesting" people that show up at anti nuclear meetings. They seem to believe that the movie Godzilla etc are factual documentaries rather than fictional entertainment. You would be aghast as what they will stand at a microphone, believe and say on emotions through tears as they obtain a narcissistic thrill of attention. I would like to shut their power off as well as bar them from anything obtained or transported via crude oil for a month. Then note how "environmental they are.

:shocked: You have these people too! :shocked: Every once in a while they stand downtown, beat drums, flash signs, and give speeches. They have been complaining about the local nuke plant for years but that plant provides this region with power. There used to be a coal fired plant in the area providing power but it was shutdown by this mentality. If the nuke plant shut down the people complaining the most would be the people who wanted the plant shutdown in the first place.

Since these people are against power production, I really think they should be disconnected from the grid.

Could be a freak show in Kincardine tonight at the Legion . CTV's W5 and TVO have been sniffing around the Low and Intermediate Storage Site all week and have called for a townhall meeting.
Have to wonder if it's been slow in the news room and they are looking to manufacture some excitement . There will probably be a good showing of anti nuclear ludites and professional protestors imported into town for the occassion.

That link syncs up well with the start of my day (I had to unclog a toilet).

There is also something critical in that older article that hasn't even fully come in to play yet, IMO. The 60% sell-off of Hydro One - just wait..... Cali was a good example of what happens when public utilities "modernize", aka become nothing more than arbitrage plays.....

Even some of the municipal utilities are a lot sleazier than they used to be, esp. when they go into expansion mode. A classic scam they often run is to take over new territory, and swap out meters - then send out notices saying the old meter was not accurate, and the customer now owes $5,000 in back-charges.
