McGuinty Flip-Flops

McGuinty has shot himself in the foot-figuratively speaking of course.

“Premier Dalton McGuinty says if Ottawa is going to provide financial support for unproven technologies to capture carbon emissions in Western Canada, it should also support green energy initiatives.

McGuinty says he's not passing judgment on the merit of the science associated with carbon capture, but adds wind turbines and solar panels are proven technologies and deserve federal support.”

I don’t disagree with McGuinty’s push for funding for green energy initiatives. No, what I’m concerned about is what appears to be an almost instant flip-flop in his stance towards carbon capture technology. He first accuses the Federal government of supporting unproven technologies but, goes onto say he’s not passing judgment on the merit of the science. Well Dalton, that’s exactly what you did. If the Provincial government of Ontario wants support from the Federal government it has to drop the subtle yet combative tone.
