Direct Message To My Readers At Toronto Hydro – I Will Comment On Your Illegal Application Later
‘Never fight a battle where your opponent has everything to lose, because if they fear the prospect of a loss that steep they have nothing to lose in doing everything possible to defeat you.’ – John Laforet
To my readers at Toronto Hydro who have visited over eighty-one (81) blog entries on http://laforet.ca since this morning (it is 10:38 AM). I am sure you’re looking to see what I have to say about your illegal application that John Gerretsen decided to sign off on this week.
It is still illegal, you’re still a cesspool for unethical behaviour, flagrant violators of law and Guildwood residents are angrier than ever before. I still have nothing but contempt for anyone at Toronto Hydro who stubbornly supports wasting $700 million dollars of public money, damaging the environment and building a project we all know (yes you too) will never generate enough electricity to pay for itself.
We will defeat you.
You should know, not one turbine will be going in Lake Ontario off the Scarborough Bluffs, and you’re wasting your time and our money persueing your misadventure off the Bluffs.
We will ensure there will be consequences.
We will respond, and it will be fierce. We’re in this for the long haul and will not allow a single turbine to enter the Lake off our shores as part of your illegal application, through your law breaking, lies and other dirty tricks.
You will be stopped.
David O’Brien has already retired, perhaps it’s time for Chris Tyrrell, Jack Simpson and Joyce McLean to walk the plank before the next round of Scarborough Vs. Toronto Hydro kicks off.
If I were to write a modern ‘Prince’ or ‘Art of War’ this would be a message, I would dedicate to you: ‘Never fight a battle where your opponent has everything to lose, because if they fear the prospect of a loss that steep, they have nothing to lose in doing everything possible to defeat you.’

TO Hydro certainly pays attention to your comments. I’ll bet the comments generate lots of water cooler chatter, not to mention in the boardroom too. I always thought that the anenmometer was a done deal before there was any opposition mounted. The real battle is yet to come. TO Hydro has won their version of Dunkirk but we will have our version of June 6, 1944.

Don’t worry about them getting their money out of it. Even if the capacity factor is only 20%, Smitherman and the rest of his slippery crew will jack the price high enough to make it profitable. The price being offered for offshore developments of any size is 19 cents/kWh.
Smitherman is a wind nut who wanted to put a windmill on everybody’s doorstep until his wings got clipped by the outcry at the Green Energy Act committee hearings. McGuinty saw that he might be in trouble and that the NIMBYs had teeth, so he allowed for greater setbacks.
It was probably Smitherman who had the IESO place a new feature on their webpage promoting wind.

Haven’t had time to visit your blog for quite a while, John. The new look, features and photo are great—very clean and attractive. I’m sure the blog-stalkers at Toronto Hydro are appreciative too (lol).
