Have you ever struggled to find your unique passion in life? Have you ever felt like you didn’t have a clear purpose? We are often told that we are unique and special. But sometimes we struggle to experience our individuality, feeling almost lost in the crowd. If you’ve ever walked the streets of a crowded city, surrounded by thousands of people walking in different directions, you may have felt almost invisible. We live on a planet with over seven billion people; Earth itself is a speck in the universe. If our planet is so infinitesimally small, relative to the universe, and within our planet, each of us is only one of more than seven billion people, how are we supposed to feel special and unique?

So many of my clients struggle to be genuine, to discover who they really are, and to live lives of passion and purpose. With social, financial, and other pressures weighing us down, we often get trapped living inside a shell, stuck and immobilized, unable to find our unique path in life. We struggle to develop ambition and aspirations to become more, because we feel stuck, empty, and aimless. We watch our potential sit unused, but we don’t know where to channel it.

However, there are a few simple keys that can help us unlock our dormant potential and develop drive and passion to achieve our unique purpose. Before beginning the journey towards self-mastery, towards unlocking our dormant potential, we need to understand the secret behind all self-development: Hashem did not put us in this world to create ourselves; He put us here to discover who we truly are. Each and every one of us is unique and equipped with a special blend of capabilities to live our ultimate lives and make our own unique contribution to the world. In this article, we’re going to begin developing some of the fundamental tools and principles that will help you find your uniqueness, cultivate your passion, and ultimately, discover your purpose.

Becoming Your Best Self

You are unique. No one else in the history of the world has your unique combination of DNA, your specific family, your mosaic of internal and external influences. As the Ramchal explains, you were born at a specific time in history, with a specific set of capabilities, and a unique purpose that only you can fulfill. The key to learning and growing is not only about the time and energy you invest; it’s about discovering “how” you learn, “how” you grow, and “how” you process. As simple as it sounds, all of growth is about one simple skill: self-awareness.

How Do You Learn Best?

We need to discover how we work, what drives us, and how we learn best. I remember teaching myself how to play guitar and piano. After much trial and error, I realized that I learn best through modeling success and personalizing it to my specific taste. I immersed myself in the musical masterpieces of the very best guitarists and pianists I could find, worked to understand every single thing they were doing, down to the smallest detail, and practiced day and night until I could do it perfectly. Then, I began using these skills to develop my own creations, ultimately writing my own music.

I used this same model for developing and giving shiurim. I began by immersing myself in the works and ideas of the greatest Torah minds, both of our generation and of our tremendous m’sorah (tradition). I spent years learning Torah with my rebbeim, reading and listening to endless shiurim, and thinking about all aspects of Torah thought and practice. At first, when I gave shiurim, I simply repeated exactly what I had heard from my rebbeim, keeping to their exact structure, word-choice, and formulation.  After years of learning, I finally understood the inner system of Torah wisdom enough to create my own shiurim and to bring in additional Torah sources that added different vantage points to the topics in discussion. I also used this same model for building my business, for becoming a professional speaker, and for just about every other passion and skill that I have.

Once you understand how you learn, you can spend the rest of your life developing and unlocking your greatest self. So, spend some time thinking about how you learn best. Do you prefer in-person learning or online learning? Do you prefer learning through video, audio, or written format? Do you enjoy interactive learning, or do you prefer processing and practicing by yourself, at your own pace?

Compete Against Yourself

The world is a competitive place. In western culture, and the capitalistic society we live in, competition is the pulse of life itself. If you’re not better than the other applicant, you won’t get the job. It doesn’t matter how much you’ve tried or how much you’ve grown to get here; what’s valued most in the workplace is results and performance. Our inner world, our personal dreams, and our unique passions and goals can easily be crushed by such a reality and its unbounded force. Furthermore, we can easily spend our entire lives comparing ourselves to other people, competing against them; we can easily find ourselves fighting for our self-worth, trying to beat everyone else.

But the key to self-worth is to compare yourself to one person and one person only: your past self. Self-worth comes from becoming the very best version of ourselves, from the realization that we are heading on the journey towards our greatness and fulfilling our purpose. As such, there is no need or place for external competition when it comes to our self-worth. We aren’t here to be better than anyone (or everyone) else. We’re here to become the very best version of ourselves and achieve our personal, unique purpose. When we compare ourselves to others, it only leads to depression; we end up giving up or falling apart. Or worse, we can spend our entire lives trying to be better than other people instead of becoming our true selves. This leads to burnout and self-hate. As long as we are making progress and becoming better than we were yesterday, we are succeeding. What other people are or aren’t doing should hold little significance for how we feel about or view ourselves. No one else has our unique package, so their progress or success should have no bearing on our own.

How to Find Your Unique Role

Once we accept the premise that we are each unique, and that we are on our own individual path to greatness, we must begin the journey of self-awareness and self-exploration, trying our best to discover what “awesome package” Hashem created us with. Hashem equips each of us with a unique package containing everything we need to fulfill our unique potential. Your unique package could contain empathy, intellectual curiosity, people skills, love of halachah, love of musar, mathematical gifts, and any number of other skills, talents, or inclinations. Discovering our unique package allows us to understand what we can and should become. Here’s the best way to approach this wonderful and exciting stage:

Experiment: What Are Your Gifts?

The first stage is experimenting. Many of us walk around without any idea who we are, what we are capable of, and what we were designed to do. We need to devote a significant amount of time to trying out various areas of life in order to discover what’s lying within us, ready to be developed and actualized. Each of us has a unique cheilek (portion) in Torah; what area of Torah do you connect with most? Spend time learning Tanach, Mishnah, Gemara, Machashavah, Jewish History, and other more specific areas of Torah to see what areas resonate with you. What hobbies, skills, and talents do you have? What have you always wanted to try, but never found the time, energy, or courage to explore? What areas of science, psychology, and general wisdom are you curious about?

For example, I would have never known that Hashem gave me the ability to play and even write music had I not spent years exploring and experimenting, trying to discover what lay dormant inside of me. The same is true for all of us. There is nothing as amazing as the smile I see on my clients’ faces when they begin discovering who they uniquely are and what they are truly capable of becoming.

  • Recollections of growing up in the London environment at the time
  • All photographs taken from the author’s own archive
  • Early memories backed up by views taken in Clapham Museum prior to its opening
  • Additional references to later off-the-peg purchases by London Transport

Geoff Bannister came to London from Burnley in 1949 as a nine-year-old, having developed an interest in transport at a very early age; he remained here, mainly in Wandsworth, until 1994.

In his first two books, he described his trainspotting travels around Britain. In this volume, he considers London Transport’s road fleet with an emphasis on the Central Area during the conversion of trolleybus routes during 1959 to 1962.

He writes about his local trolleybus routes and recollects on seeing trams as a schoolboy in Tooting. Not possessing a camera until 1959, he has drawn on later photographs and preserved vehicles to fill earlier gaps, taking the reader on a tour of the Central Area with an emphasis on trolleybuses.

Bannister also covers other vehicles such as the early days of the iconic Routemasters along with everyday shots of life at that time. Green Country buses do make some appearances, and he makes a brief nod to the off-the-peg vehicles acquired after Routemaster production, which led such chequered lives in the capital.

Softback, 256 pages, colour photographs

Most orders are dispatched within two-three working days of receipt of cleared payment. If there is going to be a significant delay (more than 10 working days), we will contact you and, where possible, give you an estimated dispatch time.

Please be aware that advance orders will be sent as soon as the relevant book has been published.

When placing your order, please ensure that you add the correct full shipping address to your order. This includes house number, street name, zip code/post code. If parcels are returned on account of an incorrect shipping address we will contact you to seek the correct address and also ask that you pay a contribution towards posting the parcel to you a second time. Similarly, if a parcel is returned to us because the local mail service is unable to deliver it (or you do not collect it from the designated collection point), we will contact you and ask you for a contribution towards the cost of shipping to you for a second time.

Postage on all orders is £1.50 although orders of £25 and over are sent post free. These are normally sent via Royal Mail 48 Hour (the business equivalent of 2nd class mail) which is not tracked although Royal Mail do confirm delivery of parcels. If you require tracking for your order, tracking & courier options are available for a small fee. If the service that you require is not shown, please get in touch with us and we can quote for your desired service.

Large, bulky or high value orders may be split in to multiple consignments or sent via courier. There is no additional charge for this and you will be advised at the order fulfillment stage if this happens.

Overseas orders are charged based on weight, and postage will be automatically calculated at checkout. For a postage quotation, please add the items you want to your cart and proceed to the checkout. All orders are usually sent via Air Mail - this is not tracked. If you required your order to be tracked or sent by a different service, please contact us, preferably before checkout.

Royal Mail will only accept parcels up to 5kg in weight (2kg for Canada). If you are ordering multiple items that exceed these limits, please contact us first so that we can advise you of the appropriate shipping rate.

Due to the high volume of parcels going missing, we are no longer able to send untracked orders via third party mail handling services such as Parcel Motel. We are able to send untracked parcels to bona fide PO Box addresses, friends and family members and to work addresses.

Some countries charge import taxes  and other taxes such as VAT;  we suggest that in these cases, you asked for your order to be tracked so the local taxation authorities can trace your parcel.

Please note that courier services are unable to deliver to PO Box addresses. If you usually use a PO Box address, you will need to supply an alternative address if you require shipping by courier.

Shipping to the European Union

From 1 July 2021, all EU countries will be imposing VAT on all imports. In the UK, books are zero-rated for VAT proposes so there is no VAT to deduct from the prices quoted on our website. All of our orders are usually sent "DDU" (Delivered Duty Unpaid) using a courier service and the shipping prices quoted are on a DDU basis. However, we are now able to offer limited "DDP" (Delivered Duty Paid) services to certain EU destinations. If you would like to purchase books on a DDP basis, please contact us before making your purchase and we will give you a DDP price.

Therefore all of our shipments to the EU will be held by the relevant customs authority until the customer pays any VAT that is due. We understand that if no payment is received by the relevant customs authority after 30 days, the package will be either returned or destroyed. Rail-Books will not be liable for any loss resulting from the destruction or return of goods where VAT has not been paid.

We recommend that customers in the EU follow the tracking data supplied to them once we dispatch your parcel and once the parcel is showing as arriving in the destination country, make contact with either the postal or customs authorities to pay the appropriate amounts of tax/duty.

Returned Parcels

On rare occasions, parcels will be returned to us. Where this happens we will refund the customer the cost of their order less any expenses incurred by ourselves (e.g. the initial cost of sending the parcel or costs relating to damage incurred in transit). If a customer requests that a parcel be shipped again for a second time, we request the customer to place a repeat order together with shipping costs. Repeat orders to UK customers will not be eligible for free shipping.

7 Tips for choosing a business idea

March 26, 2021

1. Focus on your passion and skills

Starting a business with your own passion and skills, automatically makes the process more natural and easier to flow as your heart and your strengths are automatically in it.

Passion projects at times may be harder to work out as we are emotionally involved, so we may struggle to see the bigger picture that is needed.

However, as it is your passion, you are very clear what it is that you are trying to solve, so you have a tunnel vision on your focus and understanding of the subject matter.

2. Be a solution

Businesses are there to solve a problem however big or small they may be. Identifying what problem your business is trying to solve, gives the customer a clear idea of why they need you and why they will buy from you.

Your solution does not have to be complicated; your solution may be the same as many others. This is fine as your problem does not necessarily have to reinvent the wheel.

The understanding of it and what it solves is the key.

3. Assess your work-life balance

Staying grounded and not feeling overwhelmed is very important. There is a perception that business owners work very long hours, have little time for their families and friends and are prone to stress easily. This is at times seen as something that should be accepted should you wish to start your own business.

Unfortunately, there are very many business owners that can agree with that statement, but I am sure that they will also tell you that they have realised that this was not sustainable and a healthy balance is the only way to move forward.

Hard work and grit are definitely needed, but start how you mean to go on with a healthy, manageable balance from the beginning.

4. Is now the right time?

Entrepreneurs have a very typical habit of thinking of lots of ideas ALL of the time. We also have a way of convincing ourselves how doable this is as it makes sense to us.

Assess where you are in your lives right now. Are you in the middle of your exams, or just received a promotion at work? Is now the time that you can fully focus on growing your business?

If the answer is no, that is not a negative. It may be that you have to take smaller steps to achieve your goal, or park the idea for a short while until you can fully dedicate your time to your idea.

You will be more frustrated with yourself if you are unable to go at the pace you wanted, so don’t put unnecessary pressure on yourself. Nothing before its time.

5. What do I have to do before?

Work backwards from your final business idea and determine what steps need to be taken before you can launch. These steps may not be the final list as you may discover other things as you go along, but have a general idea of all the puzzle pieces in order for you to execute your idea properly.

Be a literal sponge and learn and understand everything. Some things may not be relevant to you and your business specifically, but have an understanding of how things work which in turn will strengthen your skill in running your own venture.

Knowledge is key, so although you may not need to upskill to deliver these elements, being able to apply them or outsource others to is helpful.

Things change all the time so keep up to date with changes and relevant things that can affect and also enhance your business.

7. Test your idea with the market

Always do a small-scale product test to see how your business idea fairs. Have an understanding of what the market liked, but also what they did not like, to know how to improve.

By doing this you have a more informed direction of your business idea, which can save you money and time in the long run.

Ultimately business is designed to serve the market, so ensure that you have the markets input in mind when you launch.

Sensitivity, when trained, gives sight.

Empathic sensitivity and emotional sensitivity are often experienced or judged as something of a curse at times. And in our western society, these can often be seen as weak or unstable.

In truth, they are an asset. As they can force us to have to work on ourselves to find inner stability, resilience and peace.

And then when we have come home to ourselves in this way, the gift of seeing and being able to connect with other people’s energy and processes with more clarity is so apparent.

We can use this to help people heal.

Fifty Years and Counting, the Class of 1960

A black and white construction site photograph.In the fall of 1956 the Class of 1960 matriculated as the largest class in the College’s history to that point. While they participated in all the usual activities (Bonfire, Tug of War, Gauntlet) there were some things that made the experience of the last “50s” class different from that of their predecessors. Some were unremarkable (the Nugget Theater raising its price to 65 cents for a movie) while others changed the face of the College forever (the long threatened, and much anticipated, construction of a performing arts center—the HOP—was finally begun).

A photograph of several men and women seated and standing together on a lawn.During their time in Hanover they also saw a major change in the College’s academic calendar with the institution of a three-term structure. A petition of the students and faculty in their junior year showed that the majority of both bodies were in favor of coeducation. In response the Committee on Educational Policy voted to study the possibility, though it would take another twelve years before that dream would become a reality. Visiting hours for dorms were extended, but this didn’t make up for the lack of women on campus.

A black and white basketball team photograph.While Skiing, Basketball and Football claimed major prizes (NCAA championship for the first and Ivy League championships for the last two) fraternities faced a harsher reality. In response to an Inter Fraternity Council decision in 1954, all fraternities had to remove discriminatory membership clauses by April 1960. Many fraternities chose to break with their national affiliates over this policy, changing the face of the College forever.

Through all this the Class of 1960 persevered, and in June graduated, just as the Class of 2010 will this Sunday.

Curious to know more about the Class of 1960 and their experience of Dartmouth? Come see an exhibit of materials from the Archives on display in Rauner Library, Friday June 11 through Sunday June 13 in Room 109.

What to Wear to Commencement

A color photograph showing a crowd of people outside in black gowns, throwing graduation caps in the air.Reports differ on exactly when Dartmouth students began wearing caps and gowns, but the tradition appears to have been firmly established in 1892 after at least a couple of years of discussion.  According to The Dartmouth of Jan. 5, 1892 (v. 13, no. 8, p. 116):  [The class of] "Ninety-two has voted to wear the cap and gown during commencement week.  This is the customary English academic dress and has been that of the commencement speakers at Harvard.  Recently the dress has been adopted by nearly all of the eastern colleges as the dress of the whole senior class for longer or shorter periods.  These colleges include Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Amherst and Williams.  Some have adopted the dress for the whole year, some for the spring term, but the majority for commencement week alone.  The dress will certainly be comfortable and inexpensive and add dignity to our commencement exercises."

A color photograph of several people in Dartmouth Ph.D. gowns, which are green and black. A smiling young woman is in the center of the photograph.The Dartmouth Ph.D. gown, designed in the early 1960s, is made of a dark green (Dartmouth green) faille with a green pine tree motif embroidered on both sides of the front at lapel level on the black velvet trim.  The three bands on the arms (denoting Ph.D.) are of black velvet, the hood is black with blue velvet trim and dark green lining, and the hat is wide brimmed of black velvet (Beefeater) with a gold tassel.

You can examine the Dartmouth Ph.D. cap and gown by requesting Realia 106.  For more information about the history of academic dress and what all of those colors, hoods, and trimmings mean, see An Academic Costume Code and An Academic Ceremony Guide, from the American Council on Education.

Best wishes to all Dartmouth graduates!

Not to Worry

Five-page letter from Maurer to his mother
In 1922, Viljahlmur Stefansson had the idea to send a small group of explorers to settle Wrangel Island. Wrangel was uninhabited, and strategically located to control an important swath of the Arctic Sea above the Bering Strait. Years earlier, the survivors of the Karluk stayed there awaiting rescue after the ship was crushed by ice. There was plenty of wildlife, so Stefansson thought it could be inhabited. It fit perfectly with his ideal of the "Friendly Arctic."

So he sent four young men and Ada Blackjack, an Inupiat seamstress from Nome, to claim Wrangel Island for Canada. A year later, only Ada remained alive. It is a horrible story of Anglo-American hubris being shattered by ice and the harsh reality of the Arctic climate.

Detail of letter text about "Vic" the cat
We have all of the correspondence related to planning the Wrangel Island Expedition. It is full of optimism so it is difficult reading when you know the end result. But the worst is a letter we found from Frederick Maurer to his mother written just days before he left Alaska for Wrangel. He tells of finding "Vic," the kitten they brought along, his recent hastily arranged marriage, and his hopes for the expedition ahead and the rewards to be reaped with its success. Like a good son, he first reassured his mother not to worry:
I could not be very comfortable feeling that you were at home worrying over my safety when it is so unnecessary. You know that we are well equipped and although we are going to Wrangel Island, we are going to be living in comfort compared to the last experience up here.
Then he prophetically ties his success to Stefansson's reputation:
My going North is not for adventurous reasons as it was before, instead we are planning on commercializing the resources of the island along with exploration. It is possible that its developments may prove well worth while and as far as my investment is concerned it is as safe as Stefansson's reputation.

Fredrick Maurer on Wrangel Island
The resulting catastrophe took Maurer's life and seriously damaged Stefansson's reputation. His mother had every reason to worry.

CH. 4

In the morning I awoke on the sofa, my back sore from sleeping on an uncomfortable piece of furniture. As I sat up and stretched, sunlight shot through gaps in the living room curtains, aggravating my eyes.

I recalled last night’s dream: the decaying hand reaching out from within the darkness of the attic closet, the silhouette of the woman walking past the window, and the strange UFO in the night sky.

It was my first night in a Victorian, much larger—and creepier—than anything I’ve ever lived in. When traveling for work, I would sometimes have odd dreams when I slept in new places like motels. This was normal for me.

I yawned and saw the business card I left on the coffee table from the Center for Paranormal Investigations. No, it wasn’t a dream. I picked it up. Sandy might have just gotten creeped out because of living in a new place. Probably why she thought to hire a ghost hunter.

On the way to the kitchen to make breakfast, I stopped in the room at the back of the house with all the plants: Sandy’s sanctuary. She never put an aquarium in there like she said. Instead, sitting on the table next to the huge grandfather clock was another white bust of a woman. I hadn’t noticed that one before.

In the kitchen while cooking chorizo, potatoes, and eggs, I heard a noise in the hall. I turned off the stove, peeked out into the hall, and saw mail sliding through the slot in the front door. Sandy still received mail. I looked through it. Most of it was junk, coupons and crap.

Among the mail was a small catalog from a local new-and-used bookstore in town, the Red Fawn. The paper listed books that were on sale and Top new picks for Sandra Breyer. Most of the books chosen for Sandy were about ghosts, paranormal, and psychic phenomenon. Sandy never had any interest in such nonsense before, or so I thought.

I remembered the paranormal books on the shelves upstairs in the study. I made my way up to have a look at them. They had titles such as True Hauntings, Psychic Ability, Men in Black, and The Mothman Prophecies. On the middle shelf, I removed a book called The Michigan Dog Man, Werewolves and Humanoid Canines.

I looked through the empty space between the books and saw a greenish color at the back of the shelf. There was something behind the row of books. I removed them from the shelf and found a teal-colored daily planner that was either hidden or had fallen behind them. I took it and put the other books back.

I skimmed through the planner. It was empty except for a few entries where Sandy recorded when she went to church or made her way down to the Red Fawn Bookstore to meet with Wendy and the book club. It seemed that Sandy had made friends. It might be a good idea to find out which church she attended. If I were to get to know the people Sandy knew, I’d get an idea of what she did when she was here.

After breakfast, I put the planner in my black leather book bag, then made my way into town to check out the bookstore on Main Street. People walked up and down the short strip of quaint businesses and shops. Among them were a small art gallery, a diner, an ice cream parlor, a few bars, a hardware store, and an antique shop called Marcia’s Vintages.

There was also a small café called the Coffee Nook, and the Red Fawn was directly across the street from it. I found a parking space along the street in front of the bookstore and went inside.

Chimes clanged as I opened the door and shut it behind me. The store was musty with creaking hardwood floors. Shelving units almost reached the ceiling, and many used books were covered in dust. Some of them were rare and expensive. A few customers skimmed books within the aisles. The register counter was in the far left at the back of the store.

A thin, attractive woman with shoulder-length dark brown hair, in her mid-thirties and wearing glasses categorized a pile of books on the counter. She wore a dark blue dress and smiled when she saw me.
I stopped in the history section, then made my way to the magazine rack near the register counter and perused an issue of Men’s Health.

“Hi, is there anything I can help you find?” asked the woman from the counter.

“Yeah, maybe you can. Where is your metaphysical section?”

“That would be next to religion,” she said. “It’s small, but we do have a variety. It’s this way.”

The woman stepped away from her mountain of books and walked toward the other end the store. I followed her to some shelves that were built into the wall.

“A friend of mine was into this type of stuff,” I said. “She was a part of the book club here.”
“Her name doesn’t happen to be Sandra, does it?”

“Yeah, it is. You know Sandra?”

“I do. She was the only one in the book club interested in this subject. She’s a friend of mine as well. You’ve heard, haven’t you?”

“Yeah, I know. She’s missing.”

“It’s got many people around here worried.”

“That’s understandable. I’m new to Ravensgate myself.”

“Oh yeah? Where are you from?”

“Detroit. I have to say, I like this town. I’ve recently taken up residence in the house that Sandy lived in,” I said.
The woman looked concerned. “How long have you been in the house?”

“Only for a few days or so. I…”

“Come with me, I need to talk to you,” she said.

She scanned the store, then walked behind the counter and through a door into a small office. I followed. She waited for me to enter, then shut the door behind us.

“My name is Wendy,” she said as she sat behind the desk. “Please, have a seat.”

“I’m Cole,” I said as I sat in the chair in front of the messy desk.

“It’s a pleasure to meet a friend of Sandy’s.” Wendy briefly paused before she spoke again. “That house, it isn’t safe. I tried to warn Sandy before something bad happened, but she was intent on staying.”

“Tell me, did Sandy say anything to you about what was going on in her life before her disappearance?”

“The house is what happened. It has a bad history. I don’t know the details, but Sandy said something about ghosts in the house. She came here looking for books on the supernatural. I helped her as much as I could. We became friends when she joined the book club and came to meetings.”

“Ghosts? Tell me about the house. What’s wrong with it?” I asked.

“It’s a bad house. A married couple lived there before Sandy. They were involved in awful things—exactly what, I’m not sure. Whatever they were into, it left a wicked residue in the house. After the couple left, the house was empty for a while, then Sandy moved in. When she came up missing, I suspected it had something to do with the house, but of course I can’t be sure.”

“You wouldn’t by chance know which church Sandy attended or any other place she frequented, would you?” I asked.

“No, I’m sorry. We spoke many times, but I don’t know much about her other activities.”

The ring of the bell from the front counter put our conversation to a halt. A customer was ready. Wendy got up and took a business card from her desk.

“Please, be careful, Cole. If you need anything, contact me,” Wendy said.

I left the Red Fawn slightly satisfied. Ghosts, never really believed in them. Something happened to Sandy, but it wasn’t supernatural.

I opened the door to my Jeep and glanced across the street into the front window of the Coffee Nook. Sitting at a table by the window was the groundskeeper. Stoic, he stared at me through the glass. A truck passed by, and when I looked again, he wasn’t there.

Existential Crisis

My existence so pointless for all to see,
Alike shadow of a parched tree

Despite the presence of loved ones
Dwells loneliness inside
Welled up tears manifesting glee,
My eyes have often cried.

Bawling in happiness had me cloyed,
In this world, I feel anxious and paranoid.

Monsoon has poured its heart out,
With passion, the rivers are gushing about
Flowers have started to blossom,
Smiling buds present a sight awesome

Barren remained a solitary branch, albeit spring shower,
That thus far never could bear a flower.

Red Flag: Ontario’s Green Energy Debacle

Babatunde Williams writes at Spiked Ontario’s green-energy catastrophe.  Excerpts in italics with my bolds

A transition to renewables sent energy prices soaring, pushed thousands into poverty and fueled a populist backlash.

In February 2009, Ontario passed its Green Energy Act (GEA). It was signed a week after Obama’s Economic Recovery and Reinvestment Act in the US, following several months of slow and arduous negotiations. It also had grand plans to start a ‘green’ recovery following the financial crash – although on a more modest scale.

This was the plan: increased integration of wind and solar energy into Ontario’s electricity grid would shut down coal plants and create 50,000 green jobs in the first three years alone.

Additionally, First Nations communities would manage their own electricity supply and distribution – what observers would later call the ‘decolonisation’ of energy – empowering Canada’s indigenous communities who had been disenfranchised by historical trauma. Lawmakers promised that clean and sustainable energy provided by renewables would also reduce costs for poorer citizens. This won an endorsement from Ontario’s Low Income Energy Network – a group which campaigns for universal access to affordable energy.

But on 1 January, 2019, Ontario repealed the GEA, one month before its 10th anniversary. The 50,000 guaranteed jobs never materialised. The ‘decolonisation’ of energy didn’t work out, either. A third of indigenous Ontarians now live in energy poverty. Ontarians watched in dismay as their electricity bills more than doubled during the life of the GEA. Their electricity costs are now among the highest in North America.

To understand how the GEA went irreparably wrong, we must look at Ontario’s contracts with its green-energy suppliers. Today, Ontario’s contracts guarantee to electricity suppliers that they ‘will be paid for each kWh of electricity generated from the renewable energy project’, regardless of whether this electricity is consumed. As preposterous as this may seem, it’s actually an improvement on many of the original contracts the Ontario government locked itself into.

Earlier contracts guaranteed payments that benchmarked close to 100 per cent of the supplier’s capacity, rather than the electricity generated. So if a participating producer supplied only 33 per cent of its capacity in a given year, the state would still pay it as if it had produced 100 per cent.

This was especially alarming in context, as 97 per cent of the applicants to the GEA programme were using wind or solar energy. These are both intermittent forms of energy. In an hour, day or month with little wind or sun, wind and solar farms can’t supply the grid with electricity, and other sources are needed for back-up. As a result, wind and solar electricity providers can only supplement the grid but cannot replace consistently reliable power plants like gas or nuclear.

Many governments, including other Canadian provinces, have used subsidies of all hues to incentivise renewables. But Ontario put this strategy on steroids. For example, the Council for Clean and Reliable Energy found that ‘in 2015, Ontario’s wind farms operated at less than one-third capacity more than half (58 per cent) the time’. Regardless, Ontarians paid multiple contracts as if wind farms had operated at full capacity all year round. To add insult to injury, Ontario’s GEA contracts guaranteed exorbitant prices for renewable energy – often at up to 40 times the cost of conventional power for 20 years.

By 2015, Ontario’s auditor general, Bonnie Lysyk, concluded that citizens had paid ‘a total of $37 billion’ above the market rate for energy. They were even ‘expected to pay another $133 billion from 2015 to 2032’, again, ‘on top of market valuations’. (One steelmaker has taken the Ontarian government to court for these exorbitant energy costs.)

Today, this problem persists.  Furthermore, electricity demand from ratepayers declined between 2011 and 2015, and has continued to fall. Ontarians were forced to pay higher prices for new electricity capacity, even as their consumption was going down.

Ontario’s auditor general in 2015 stated that: ‘The implied cost of using non-hydro renewables to reduce carbon emissions in the electricity sector was quite high: approximately $257 million [£150million] for each megatonne of emissions reduced.’ Per tonne of carbon reduced, the Ontario scheme has cost 48 per cent more than Sweden’s carbon tax – the most expensive carbon tax in the world.

Clearly, bad policy has led to exorbitant waste. This wasn’t the result of corruption or conspiracy – it was sheer incompetence. It’s a meandering story of confusion and gross policy blunders that will fuel energy poverty in Ontario for at least another decade.

As democracies across the West respond to the coronavirus crisis with hastily prepared financial packages for a ‘green recovery’, they should consider the cautionary tale of Ontario.

The GEA’s stubborn defenders refuse to recognise that poor policy, even with the best intentions, discredits future efforts at cutting emissions. ‘Green New Deals’ for the post-pandemic recovery in the US and Europe should learn from the GEA. Clean energy at any cost will be rightfully short-lived and repealed, and its supporters will be unceremoniously booted out of power.

    Well, on the bright side, at least Ontario isn’t doubling down, Like California:

    Hi Ron
    I just started to creat this animated video for my CO2 charts …

    • Ron Clutz · September 23, 2020

      Thanks for showing that Raymond. I like the frame and the visuals and music. I assume you will include more slides. One point concerning slide #1. The %s add to more than 100. The problem is that Ar and the other trace gases are % of dry air. The wikipedia source suggests that H2O is variable 0 to 3%. To forestall any dismissive criticism on this detail, how about using 1.5% rather than 2.5%, and note that the other %s are of dry air.

      • Ray · September 24, 2020

        Hi Ron
        I was thinking that this might be a point of misunderstanding for some. I’ll take it into review when I do the next update. I’m still feeling my way around with the animation and timing, it’s a lot of info that’s moving around visually, a challenge to say the least. Cheers R

    • Ron Clutz · September 24, 2020

      Raymond, using Wikipedia’s numbers and converting from dry air to moist air, I calculate the following %s:
