Break even for wind power last I checked was $0.07kWh.

I think what their plan is here is to wind down coal gen, cause price spikes due to a shortage in capacity, then subsidize renewable investment. Problem with that is they have zero control on he market price....pull off too much capacity and you're going to spike the price to the max amount in the pool (believe that's $1000/MWh). If you think people in Ontario are getting screwed just wait....at those prices homeowners.can expect power bills in the thousands of dollars.

We have a piece of land down In Ft McLeod engineered for 10MW that we have 10 years of wind data on. Might be time to dust off the investment package on that one. If you can't beat em might as well join em!
