Carbon tax

[SASKFARMER3]

This was next weeks bitch of the Day but since you brought it up.

Justin Trudeau will go down in history as the second Idiot from that family to screw, kill, destroy the west and take our wealth and hand it over to the useless pieces of shit from Ontario and Quebec.

This has nothing to do with Climate change or taking canada to clean country. Hell we put our what 2% of worlds CO2.
Get China and all the big polluters to do something then maybe we will do our share.

Also haven't since 1981 i been direct seeding and capturing carbon in my soil on all my land. WTF is that just a charity for the David Suzukis.

Brad take this little F$%Ker and nail his sorry ass to the cross. This is war with Eastern Canada.

Oh yea Alberta has a Idiot running the show also who is doing her share to destroy the west. One NDP province at a time.

Also hasn't the genius in Ontario Just about bankrupt Ontario going green.

WTF

Canada run by IDIOTS.

Brad Wall must be part of the conspiracy too. 1.2 billion invested in carbon capture and storage at Boundary? This is the most expensive way to reduce carbon dioxide. Brad is also planning that 50 % of Saskatchewan's power will be from renewables by 2030.

This is what Bloomberg's New Energy Finance says in their 2016 report:

Power findings

8 eye-catching findings from this year’s report

Coal and gas prices stay low. A projected supply glut for both commodities cuts the cost of generating power by burning coal or gas, but will not derail the advance of renewables.
Wind and solar costs drop. These two technologies become the cheapest ways of producing electricity in many countries during the 2020s and in most of the world in the 2030s. Onshore wind costs fall by 41% and solar PV costs fall by 60% by 2040.[/B][/B]
Asia-Pacific leads in investment, representing 50% of all new investment worldwide. Despite slower growth in the near-term, China remains the most important center of activity.
Electric car boom. EVs increase global electricity demand by 8% – reflecting BNEF’s forecast that they will represent 35% of new light-duty vehicle sales in 2040, some 90 times the 2015 figure.
Cheap batteries everywhere. The rise of EVs further squashes the cost of lithium-ion batteries, boosting power storage and working with other flexible capacity to help balance renewables.
A limited ‘transition fuel’ role for gas outside of the US, with only 3% growth in gas demand for power to 2040, and generation peaking in 2027.
Coal’s diverging trajectories. Coal generation plummets in Europe and peaks in 2020 in the US and in 2025 in China; however it increases 7% globally due to rapid growth in other Asian and African emerging markets.
2⁰C scenario. On top of the forecasted $9.2tn investment in zero-carbon power, an extra $5.3tn is needed by 2040 to prevent power-sector emissions rising above the IPCC’s ‘safe’ limit of 450 parts per million.

" but will not derail the advance of renewables.", easy statement but why will they NOT derail?

All the projections are great, but where do the TRILLIONS come from? You and me? Smoke and mirrors... more lies /guesses/BS, if without taxes fine!
If it makes economic sense we will all change, but don't hurt me with taxes to force us to change.
INCENTIVES not DISINCENTIVES! Carrot not stick.

The solution is easy, everyone wins
- keep interest rates low
- keep pumping up every thing green, social responsibility, etc build and support break even industry
- pay for it with QE (money printing),
- the stock markets, bond market and pension funds all happy

If we don't get some interest rates soon, most of you old buggers are gonna get a fence post over the head when we can't get anymore work out of you. Be damned if ma and pa are moving in with the kids. You guys voted for this socialist utopia of pensions and govt nursing homes. Pensions need 8% return. Better not sell the dirt, if BOC goes negative rates they'll slowly be stealing everything you worked all your life for. Deflation is a sob.

And if everyone one is happy, win another election

Some days I'm embarrassed to be associated with Agriville. The foul mouthed, ignorant, offensive comments on this thread are a prime example. Regardless of your views or opinions on the subject is this really the best you can do? Might be better for farmer's image if this post got deleted.

In Ontario the price of electricity has risen 80% in ten years. If green energy was so cheap wouldn't the opposite of happened? It is a government owned utility that is now selling off portions of Hydro 1 to get some cash because of huge debt.
