Ontario Prosperity

 Merry Christmas Season, I know that because of Hallmark movies.  Today, we are pretending, we are in a state of rational bliss.

We will build transmission lines that keep the farmers happy.  We will grow coca leaves and poppies, along with mushrooms.  The US has kicked us enough, to heck with them!

These greenhouses will be much fancier than shown.  We will have 'conductivity adjustment', which uses conductive glass, and grounding mats, to protect from electrical fields, and minimize ground losses.

Of course, we will build a giant Candu plant, following my instructions for not creating a "Water Laser", like Darlington.  And we will make sure the foundation is good, unlike Pickering.  After all, we have our "Huge Earthquake Death Scenario", at 1 in 5000.  

The grid and greenhouses will be run without a speck of MS-Win, so the US can't screw us.

Fa lalalaaa lalala.

Rationalist Rants

 I accumulate a lot of junk, and I'll dump some of it.

This is 'grandstanding' and not rational.  A baby reactor as expensive as a real one, and no fuel.

Rationality cycles on and off.  What happens is that we get so prosperous with rational policies, that we have a desire to chew off our toes.  Then, the populists come in.

I was in a rational cycle at the old company.  For a short time, everybody was listening to me.  We were going full blast on electrical infrastructure, more transmission lines, and I was scouting all the sites for the next large nuclear plant.  It was wonderful, and then the commies came into power.  After them, the near-commies had their fun.

They destroyed Ontario.  We could have had abundant cheap electricity, and done the whole China thing.  If the US wanted to destroy our industries, we could have said "Enjoy paying for electricity, bioch."

In Ontario, we are still in a 'grandstanding' phase, housing was pushed by the 'friend of developers', and now we are crushed under the overhang.  Nuclear is run by "The Stupid Factory", since they outsource everything.  I've done all the details before.

We have to starve before rationality comes back.  Carney does his best, but he is in a 'thick' ocean.  I just watch and laugh.

Five Impossible Things Before Breakfast

 Just one, actually.  We have an Arctic Basin Vortex set up that is going clockwise, and yet doing everything the counterclockwise vortex did.

A powerful clear linear storm bearing down on us, while some Pacific air creeps up to feed the vortex.

Greenland is displaying 'all white'.  I'm not mentioning the fantasies on this post.
