TORONTO-

Every time the Kathleen Wynne Liberals are called on the carpet over skyrocketing electricity prices in Ontario, they go into their patented, but we eliminated coal routine.

Meaning they eliminated polluting coal-fired electricity and replaced it with clean energy sources such as solar and wind power.

So today, lets expose this claim for the nonsense it is.

When Dalton McGuinty and the Liberals came to power in 2003, they promised to close all of Ontarios coal-fired electricity generating stations, which at the time were supplying 25% of Ontarios power needs, by 2007.

That was completely unrealistic and the Liberals didnt in fact eliminate coal until this year.

Meanwhile, in 2014, wind and solar power provide about 4% of Ontarios electricity.

So even for the Liberals whose math skills are not the greatest, as evidenced by the fact theyve doubled Ontarios debt to almost $300 billion since coming to power in 2003 it ought to be obvious you cant replace 25% of the system with 4% of it.

Beyond that, theres a whole other problem with Liberal claims wind and solar power were used to replace coal.

That is, wind and solar power cant replace coal because, unlike coal, they cannot provide base load power to the grid on demand.
