Besides, the good mayor from New York is basically floating a nice idea. It’s not a major policy statement given in New York’s City Hall. He’s at a convention in Vegas, which is where things tend to stay. (What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.)

Here’s what will be the result if anything actually were to happen: companies will bid in a corrupt process that will see a politically connected company receive a fat government contract it cannot deliver on. But that will only come out years from now, when all the money is already spent and nothing has been done.

And another thing: Where does Toronto get it’s power from now? Total guess here, but it’s got to be getting at least some from the hydro power plant at Niagra Falls. If the power is already “clean,” why bother setting up expensive and dangerous turning blades close to where people live?
