  1. Everybody says we should do something, and we have done something. We have eliminated coal fired plants and built gas plants to replace them We have also built solar and wind plants to replace them. At great cost but I can accept that we need to develop the technology. I think we are at the point that the wind turbines we have are enough to study and develop. They are not yet at a point where it makes economic sense to continue building inefficient wind turbines. Do you have any idea of the cost to change the oil in the transmissions of these turbines. And what is done with the used oil. We have 200 ton cranes on almost constant rental to the wind farm for maintenance.. You say do something or nothing. Please give us your idea of something
  2. There are laws against distracted driving now, same as there are laws against murder. People still do it...you will never stop it all...I would be very afraid of a government intent on eradicating all crime
  3. No, put them in health care...global warming has lots of funding now
  4. Pulling your chain Dutch But you do back her plans and we really can't afford it right now
  5. How bout just make a law against distracted driving and enforce it...oh wait....
  6. Nice size fish...I love jigging them up. We always try to cast the jig way out then jig in...you get to reel the fish in for a longer time
  7. Dutch, you keep saying that people on here don't believe climate change is real but I haven't seen anybody say that. They just say that your government is taking the wrong approach to the problem Your Love for Kathleen and the Liberal government is clouding your judgment. You are acting like the little boy in the playground hitting the girl because he likes her. You call Wynne incompetent and then back everything she does
  8. If you need to call 911 you likely need to stop too And if I want my wife to answer a text while I'm driving I should be able to do that too
  9. Can you post a pic of them stretched out whats the best colour
  10. According to latest studies, and what I always believed, even hands free is distracting...its not the holding the phone, its the concentrating on the conversation instead of driving
  11. I love it...yes..most definetly and a couple things that go Thump too
  12. Build a cornhole game. Just as much funv
  13. Do they work that good? Just tie them yourself
  14. Really not much would change for me. I'm 5 years from retiring and likely would right away Kids have it made right now. Both have careers and school they love so that would just go on. I doubt I would move unless it was the 60 mil but charity would get most anyway. Maybe build a windmill in Kathleen's back yard Just a bit more fishing and a bit of travel Life is pretty good as it is now
  15. I remember back in the 60's when the solution to the pollution problem in Sudbury was to build a "Super Stack" to get the sulpher higher into the air where it could dissipate. Then in the 80's when they stated the "Sulpher Abatement Project" which actually took pollutants out of the air. New century we ended burning coal in our electric plants. In Ontario with solar, gas and wind Some good moves, some not so good. But all cost a bunch of money. Currently, we must make a move. I'm just not convinced that the current one is the right one. I think we could do a lot more for a lot less money. Smarter and more people need to get together and figure out a plan. I just don't trust this bunch we have in Queens park and they are too alone on it
  16. I wouldn't be in to work tomorrow for starters
  17. I'm all for it, I'm just looking at the cost. We have to go nuclear...quit playing around with this wind and solar stuff. And you are talking Canada for hydro, we are only talking Ontario and that is now very limited cost per Mw is ridiculous as well as the pollution produced in building them would take 100 years to balance And let some people have a say, my biggest problem is the My way or the Highway attitude of this government They were elected to govern, not dictate
  18. Nuclear is at maximum capacity, hydro is close to maximum capacity. These 2 account for 85% of generating capacity. There are no additional sources for Hydro except for tiny little rivers that do more harm to the environment than help. As far as I know we are not building any new nuclear plants. Where will we get the electricity to power these billions, or even millions of cars https://www.cns-snc.ca/media/ontarioelectricity/ontarioelectricity.html
  19. What boat are you looking at
  20. Just about exactly what I have only in a Sylvan and also rated for 75 Mostly it does ok but when things aren;t right it just hates to get on plane tops out with just me at 35 mph on gps 5000 rpm gives it 30 mph with 2 people
  21. I would say thats just how it is. My 60 yamaha is the same way especially loaded and into the wind. Them 4 strokes just don't have the hole shot snap of a 2 stroke
  22. Cool..hard work can pay off in so many ways
  23. Thats a pretty nice Pike
  24. LOL...Took you long enough
