@adamshostack that's insane. Its not like the Ontario government scrapping green energy projects was any less insane when they did it, but still. Insane.

@adamshostack there are also 'local groups' on social media that are clearly astroturfing, trying to get people to blame the high energy costs on Democrats and Green Energy.

Our offshore wind farm was recently connected, and it's providing a decent portion of our electricity now, and it's doing it pretty reliably. If we keep this up we could really cut down on how much natural gas we need, and the price spikes we all pay for when demand for it exceeds supply.
