""For this government to rip up contracts and literally rip wind turbines out of the ground is a huge waste of money and makes absolutely no sense," said Green party Leader Mike Schreiner.""

Well, yes. $230m to prevent power being generated, either for ideological reasons or bribes.

At this point in time the cost is Wind: .75/kilowatt hour Nuclear: 0.05/kilowatt hour

Makes sense for a lot of reasons. The most costly energy was the fixed rate 75c per hour that was for ideological reasons going to transform Ontario into the solar power maker of the world. That went to California then and now China.

Do those numbers take into account construction and dismantling costs?
