This particular studio is responsible for some of their best titles.

In Canada, the only province that historically has a rate that high is Ontario, and that is because they use Nuclear power, which is more expensive to maintain, and also they have no protection laws for consumers. So residents of Ontario pay what the US companies are willing to pay for power.

The neighbouring province, Quebec, uses primarily Hydro Electric dams, and has protection laws that restrict pricing for hydro power for residents of Quebec to a reasonable margin above cost, regardless of what the US is willing to pay for the power.

When I lived in Ontario, the price was $24c/kwh, while Quebec was $8/kwh

Ontario has had new laws passed with the energy board and now it appears their price is down to $14c/kwh according to this site, but I'm willing to bet that is highly dependent on surge pricing. Getting straight answer on costs is difficult these days with all the tiered pricing.

Apparently Alberta is more expensive than Ontario now.. Must be all that "freedom" they have... Did they privatise electric in addition to everything else there? I'm not familiar with how their grid is powered.. Maybe its oil/coal based. Which would be unsurprising.

He lived long enough to see the US government filled with his people by Trump

When you are hungry and have had to resort to a less desirable food source, the time for research and development becomes available.

Was super interested right up until the AI recommendations bit.

This, the power is needed to maintain the subspace bubble, being thrown from said bubble from losing power has been shown to be dangerous. Maybe you just drop out of warp, maybe you drop out too close to something and have no control.

Fireplaces have a flue. If you close it the smoke has no where to go but the house.

The whole idea still smacks of dumbfuckery, don't get me wrong; but its not as much of a lost cause as you're thinking.

Username checks out.

Mr Boimler! Beam Moopsy over to that.... thing and let's call it a day. We have a dinner celebration to attend.

 

Title says it all. He sells Scrooge better than any other movie adaptation I've seen.

 

As the title says, I'm curious if they ever named or revisited this Human civilization in the later parts of the timeline in any way? It seems like too good of an opportunity to not revisit it at some point.

My searches did not reveal any answer, so thought I'd ask my fellow trek nerds.

 

Just had this one shared with me directly on signal and could not find it in here, nor could I find a source. Too good not to share though. If someone knows the meme creator I'll update this with proper credit.

 

Riker came down on a whole other deck and wants answers.
