Global adjustment extra charge hits households and businesses.Who do 
we blame " Ontario's Liberal Government's obstinate stand on using Wind 
Power ".

The price of power for many Ontario households and businesses has 
spurted higher as the "global adjustment" — an extra fee tacked on to the 
market price — has jumped to a record high. But the global adjustment for 
September will add another( 8.72 cents) per kilowatt to the market price 
for customers who aren't covered by the province's regulated price plan.

The Independent Electricity System Operator said Tuesday that it will start 
to "dispatch" wind power starting Sept. II/2013 . That means wind output, 
like most other forms of generation, will be called on only when there's a 
demand for it.

Wind producers will still get paid for a portion of the unused output, up to a 
certain cap. Provincial officials say the new system will reduce the amount 
of revenue that wind generators currently bring in by about $200 million a 
year. But the IESO said that dispatching wind won't make surplus power 
vanish. It expects the amount of surplus baseload power in the system to 
increase.When ???  No one is answering that statement.

No A380's For Air Canada

    Boeing's twin-engined Dreamliner will be a much smaller aircraft -- seating 200 to 300 passengers -- with the latest engines and materials, and upturned wingtip "winglets," for maximum efficiency. For the cost of a single Airbus A380 (about $250-$300 million), an airline could conceivably have two or three 787/7E7 Dreamliners, or more. Declining wages for airline pilots are likely to make such a multiple-plane scenario less costly than before.   Air Canada is targeting seven major Canadian cities as departure points for the long-range Boeing 787 Dreamliner. The first plane in the carrier’s order for 37 Dreamliners will arrive in the first quarter of 2014, followed by six more of the aircraft that year, said Ben Smith, Air Canada’s chief commercial officer. "Starting in the first quarter 2014, AirCanada expects to take delivery of our first of 37 Boeing 787 Dreamliners aircraft, comprised of (15) 787-8s and (22) 787-9s,"   The carrier will now expect six 78...

Canada and the F-35

-
Image
The Boeing X-32, left, and the Lockheed X-35 competed for the DoD contract to produce the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) in 1997. Both companies received 0 million grants to build prototypes. The new single-engine, Mach-1 capable aircraft needed to be stealthy and provide robust situational awareness to the pilot during attacks on ground targets and when fighting in air-to-air engagements. It also needed to meet the specifications of the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps as well as nation partners. Lockheed won the competition which would eventually produce the F-35 Lightning II.
