Is it one deer and multiple deers.....or multiple deer?
oh dear, i'm confused
|
they were people. 2 of them. they saw us, we saw them. They stood there looking scared. Hard to tell, it was dark and they were far away. Our rather large group was standing right in the light though. Although it was highly unlikely that it was the guard, we still got the fuck outta there.
dear deer, I hope you get unconfused.

No, I was probably skinning raccoons for hats or something that night.

It is the world's largest Coal Generating stations, recently shut down. It was famous for 'the four sisters' the four stacks at the plant, demolished on June 12th, the stacks, the main plant is still standing.
|
It's Ontario's second largest. Nanticoke is almost double the size.

Still talking about Lakeview?
Lakeview had the largest boilers and generators of it's type when it was built in the late 50s/early 60s. It also had the largest transformers ever built in CANADA (not in the world.) It has never been the largest coal power plant in the world. The Generators, boilers, and transformers at Nanticoke and Lennox (which are newer plants) are larger.
Nanticoke is the largest thermal power plant in North America by far. It is also by far the largest single source of air pollution in North America.
It's also interesting to note that North America's largest nuclear power plant (Bruce Power) is also located in Ontario. It's the 5th largest power plant in the world.

Quit trolling threads and either contribute to the forums with a productive opinion, or just shut up. If you don't find it interesting, don't read it.
Anyway, I suppose the thread has derailed; so I'll try to get it back on. I won't be here for around six months, and some of the attendees might be planning on having a "Shiroi Meet" in my absence. If anyone would like to contribute, there is more discussion available in my private forums. Just PM me and I might add you. What does everyone think of this idea?

| | | | I will probably plan a Shiroi meet while Shiroi is gone. So if anyone has any stunt ideas, PM Shiroi or myself. And if your really nice and don't suck (or maybe if you do, Shiroi may like that  lol) Shiroi may add you to the private forum, like he said. Wouldn't that be spiffy?!?!

People report for duty on a daily basis. It's not abandoned.
[EDIT: I do think it would be fun to explore it as part of a shiroi meet or for any other reason  ]

I wouldn't say that Lakeview is like an "impossible mission." It's easy to do, even during the day. Anyone visiting Toronto should probably go there before even considering Labatt's which is currently much harder to get into and probably a lot less interesting, too.

I think people are just trying to keep it at a mythical status. Few will mention here that you could just...walk right into the Malt Plant years ago.
But, back to the regularly scheduled programming...whatever it was.

Naticokes not getting shut down, at least not until the new nuclear reactors are online. If we lost Naticoke we would have to start importing large amounts of power from the US and Quebec. Naticoke has also gotten a lot better over the years and could get even better if sufficient resources were allocated to it.
The Government has even confirmed there is no fixed closing date of Naticoke.
I've visited Naticoke and photographed it inside and out, its quite a site. Unfortunatly not authorized to post the photos.

Have you seen this?? I find it peculiar how a date was announced, but then nothing definitive. Also interesting how they are considering buying power from the US...while their coal-fired plants pollution contributes to our pollution.
I'm sure it will be shut down in a few years.

Heat wave fuels coal debate
Energy minister refuses to reaffirm vow to close big polluters
May 31, 2006. 05:22 AM
ROB FERGUSON
QUEEN'S PARK BUREAU
It seemed more like July yesterday as the heat wave set a record for hydro use in May and appeared to melt the Liberal promise for closing the last of Ontario's coal-fired power plants by 2009.
While Ontarians cranked up their air conditioners and smog cloaked much of the province, Energy Minister Dwight Duncan repeatedly refused to reaffirm the coal pledge aimed at making the air easier to breathe.
It was just last June that he admitted the Liberal election promise to close all the coal plants, which contribute to smog and global warming, by 2007 was not feasible and had to be pushed back two years.
"Only these guys could break a broken promise," said Progressive Conservative Leader John Tory, telling Duncan: "You owe it to the people to be clear."
About 30 per cent of Ontario's power comes from coal plants.
Duncan hinted the government is more concerned about limiting pollution from the coal plants than it is about how soon the plants are shut down as Ontario struggles to meet growing demand for hydro.
"We remain committed to moving forward on reduction of emissions and making sure that as we go forward, as we've always said, that we don't compromise the reliability of the system."
The system was stretched in yesterday's 33C sauna, at one point seeming it might approach the all-time record set last July 13, when 26,160 megawatts of electricity were used.
Yesterday's demand was an early reminder of last year's summer of heat, which recorded nine of the top 10 all-time days for electricity demand in Ontario history.
Yesterday's maximum use reached just under 25,000 megawatts, nearly 25 per cent higher than during the previous May record set two years ago. It included more than 2,000 megawatts of imported power because plants in the province couldn't produce enough to meet demand.
"What's significant is it's happening in May," said Terry Young of the Independent Electricity System Operator, the government agency in charge of securing enough power for the province.
Customers won't feel the pinch from the cost of imported power until next year when rate increases are set, said Tom Adams of the watchdog group Energy Probe.
"This is going to come back to bite us."
The heat wave that began a few days ago is "just the beginning of what looks like a warm summer," climatologist David Phillips of Environment Canada told Canadian Press. "Find out where your halter tops and your muscle shirts are and where your cool beer is, because we're going to see more of it."
Duncan said he's not too worried about blackouts or a repeat of last summer's brownouts this year because Ontario has 600 more megawatts of generating capacity than it did last year, mainly from a restarted unit at the Pickering nuclear station.
"This summer should not be as challenging as last summer," he said. "We should be okay."
But Adams challenged that view given the power use yesterday.
"I expect it's going to get a lot worse this summer," he said. "The first heat wave is never the worst. A lot of people don't even turn their air conditioners on until day three."
The high temperatures of the last two days were caused by an air system from the Gulf of Mexico and are expected to ease off by tomorrow, but the political heat is expected to remain on Duncan.
His plan from last June was to close three remaining coal plants near Sarnia, Thunder Bay and Atikokan by 2007 but keep the huge Nanticoke coal-fired plant near Lake Erie, the largest polluter in Canada, open until early 2009.
That's in doubt given Duncan's refusal yesterday to repeat those dates.
"Now he's getting wishy-washy all of a sudden," said Adams, warning that shutting coal plants could be a disaster in terms of keeping the lights on.
The irony is that imported power is largely from coal-fired plants in the U.S. Midwest that spew pollution and smog into Ontario, Adams added.
Duncan promised more details "very shortly" on his plan for meeting Ontario's need for energy over the next couple of decades.
It is widely expected his plan will include more nuclear power.

We haven't just considered importing power we do it regularly from Quebec and the US. Yes Naticoke will be shut down, but by 2009 its just not possible. Unless you want a repeat of the blackout. Coal is reliable and must be used while the new nuclear reactors are built. Considering they haven't even finalized the location for the new nuclear reactors to think it will be completed by 2009 is just unpossible (ralph wiggum quote)

Woah, I just mindless trolled myself! Hehe.
Anyways, since Shiroi is going away for a very long time, the next Shiroi meet will have to be done without him. So if anybody has any ideas for stunts or would like to volunteer themselves to do any stunts, please pm.
