It is -9, with the windchill it feels like -16. Ontario has 413mw of wind capacity. At 1pm the four wind-farms in Ontario are generating at 4.6%  of their rated capacity. Not too impressive.
When the Ontario govt. or the wind industry tell you that a wind farm has the capacity to power x number [...]

From the editor

Manitoba gets the first realistic setback in Canada. The people in Manitoba fought back and instead of a 500 meter setback they now have a more realistic 2000 meter from their property lines. In Ontario the setbacks are from the residence, not the property line, which makes the 450 meter setback [...]

Today is one of the coldest days of the year.
Ontario has 413mw of installed wind energy.

That is a whooping 3.39% of their rated capacity.
Now, if we needed that 413mw we would be screwed.
413mw of base power gives you 413mw [...]
