I read that total US electricity imports from Canada is $3B per year, while total US spending on electricity is about $400B per year. So, no big loss and maybe it will knock some sense in the the Northeast NIMBYs as far as power plants go.
It’s time we cut the retarded child dependant loose. Let the Chinese have them.
US needs to fire up our own plants and stop buying from them.
Its a “grid” right? These people just shift suppliers and tap into the grid. Canada on the other hand can’t use its electricity not sold and the entire loss goes to their bottom line.
We learned that in high school: A protest against the school was that a big chunk of 3600 kids secretly brought their lunch. And we all stood by as the lunchroom people dumped 1000 meals in the dumpster. The school got the point and did not ignore us the next time.
PS, the protest was about sending our friend Bobo home for wearing a wife beater T shirt when the girls were allowed to wear pretty much the same thing.
Every tariff increase from Ontario should be answered with a tariff increase to goods imported from Quebec, stating that it’s all Ontario’s fault.
Let Quebec get angry and invoke their wrath upon Ontario and the rest of Canada.
End Canadian medical tourism.
Typical short term thinking without considering long term consequences. I sometimes wonder how politicians get into power but then I remember they need only be smarter than the electorate.
That is ANOTHER thing Trump should be doing, BUILDING A BIG ASS FEDERAL COAL POWER PLANT IN EVERY STATE.
fine....let’s stop all US-Canada trade. see how that works out for ya...
The US should never have become dependent on Canada for power.
I say we threaten to cut off the supply of laxatives to Ontario so that Doug Ford can get even more full of crap.
This will backfire spectacularly.
Shut it off, but if you do it will be PERMANANT.
There are six perfectly fine coal fired plants in Ct, known as the sooty six, that could be fired up. Better than paying the Danegeld to the drug addled Ontario scumbag Ford.
Put down the crack pipe Doug.
I live in NYS.
Note to Canada’s Deep State and speaking for myself: Make my day.
I was born & raised in Maine, and lived a good chunk of my life here.
Years ago, it was filled with the most indepedent (self sufficient) minded people in the country.
It’s been overtaken by radicals, non-Americans who live off the dole and it now practicaly non liveable.
The libs shut down the Nuclear power plant we had, have tried to get rid of hydro dams, and pushed through a massive power line that brings power mostly to Massachusetts from Ontario. They also pushed useless wind & solar that have destroyed the beautiful land we have, and our rates have doubled because all of that garbage is “publicly funded”.
The idiot governor (General Mills) also just out of the blue levied a 0.5% tax for “12 weeks leave”, which I certainly never “enjoyed”, on top of the already through the roof taxes & fees you pay if you happen to have a decent job, of course in order to pay for stuff for illegal immigrants, or people who just don’t want to work.
The cherry on top is that even though Mills and her cronies pushed & implemented all that ridiculousness, she/they will scream that it’s all Trump’s fault.
Actual Mainers are sick of this crap, but we literally have been taken over by idiots & tyrants.
Doug “The Coked-Up Fraud” Ford is penalizing the blue states.
Beautiful!
A shame about your druggie brother, Doug! :)
The (former) AES Somerset plant. Went live in 1982. Essentially shutdown in 2017. One of the cleanest coal burning plants in NY.
Now gone. About 150 jobs gone.
Have some friend who still live in the area. Very sad.
