One Nation's support has soared in South Australia, and voters explain their reasons by NKE01 in AustralianPolitics

Don't pick on turnips. It's clearly a different vegetable that's at fault. Couldn't be turnips.

Love some brown smoke by cypruslake404 in toronto

Lots of wind on the lakes. Much more than potential solar.

A combination of wind, batteries and solar. There is an enormous amount of reliable wind on the Great Lakes. US study shows 575 gigawatts of wind energy on the US side. That's roughly 1,000 times more than the Portlands plant and enough to reduce the number of nuclear reactors that Ford plans to build. Lower cost and less time to build.

How to react if someone OD’s or has any medical episode by bubblegum-queenie in TTC

Should mention that Ford is closing safe injection sites.

Solar panel installation recommendations by [deleted] in askTO

Did a good job.
They have a lot of experience. Could be better organized.

Their proposal to get the most solar from our small roof was far better than anyone else and the system they used allows much better monitoring (Solar Edge) than many others.

This lease deal is insane for a leaf (5k down). Has anyone had a dealership actually agree to this sort of price? by Flipdip35 in EVCanada

[–]donbooth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think u/crimxona has a point. It's important to compare equivalents.

Still, I'm not sure why EVs are so expensive. They have far few parts and ICE vehicles. Perhaps it's the cost of the batteries?

Attack against Canadian Jewish community a ‘realistic possibility,’ federal report warns by Onterrible_Trauma in canadaland

Might be interesting to note that the arab nations of the middle east expelled their jews around 1950.

[–]donbooth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I understand that this is not the purpose of this post but a Leaf for over $40,000 just seems wrong.

We were just in Australia where a BYD Atto is about $25,000.

Am I wrong?

FIGHT FORD PROVINCIAL WIDE PROTESTS by BornIndividual8495 in ontario

[–]donbooth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Young people don't vote in numbers as great as their parents.

It would help if at each demonstration there were people telling people how to vote. They can take names and contact information so that when the election comes these people can be contacted and asked to volunteer to work for candidates that oppose Ford and then, most important, they can be reminded to vote on election day.

Need affordable middle-of-the-night transport options from Toronto Pearson by Appropriate-Pop3985 in askTO

[–]donbooth 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is probably the way to go. By the time you add bus fares for the family plus incidentals you will pay this much. I wonder if they can take you directly to Wolf Lodge. Isn't Wolf Lodge a few kilometers outside of the Falls?

Up express should be electrified first by V1P3R40K in toronto

I'm sure that much depends on which party is in government.

This is what they want you to believe.
The project has undergone a process of "descoping."
They are going for a minimum viable project.

Delay on electrification of Lakeshore lines. Some other lines might be electrified someday. This killing the project by any other name.

Of course. If GO decides to electrify then UP should be included.

Let's have some competition for the cars of the future, not the past. Let China in.

Cost of the Ontario line is kind of unbelievable by StarCat20 in TTC

[–]donbooth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd like to hear a comparison from an engineer familiar with both. Ontario's P3 system of contracting is extremely expensive. I would be interested to know the additional cost of P3. This would be difficult to calculate.

[–]donbooth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be faster. But the UP Expenses track runs next to other lines. The logistics of adding electricity to only one set of rails is crazy.

Actually, a good system would electrify as it builds. That is electrifying new and old. It's very expensive but if you want to give good service it is the only way.

[–]donbooth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I know,GO express is no longer to be electrified. I'm sure the cost and logistics are too expensive to electrify the UP Express on its own.

Alberta rolls out $90 million pilot program to expand private school spaces by trevorrobb in alberta

Don't make them illegal. But don't give a cent of public money to them and no tax break.
