A Mun!
"A Mun" is short for 'Swift Uprising', the Chinese name my grandmother used to call me as a child. She was always yelling, but only in the endearing way that all old chinese ladies yell, hence the exclamation.

It really is going to be a major turning point if Tim Hudak gets to proceed with his backwards looking promises and pulls the rug out from under the growing green energy industry in Ontario. So as election day looms and people are still mulling over the green energy issue, it’s worth considering what Germany’s head environmental official had to say last week when he visited Ontario. He’s been involved in developing renewable energy there for about 25 years. His comments highlight what we might be at risk of throwing away:
Sharing the experiences of Germany, Lehmann said the kind of green energy program introduced in Ontario needs to operate for a few years before the economic benefits – the true vision of the initiative – become more visible. “Then it explodes,” said Lehmann, meaning in a good way.
What Lehmann brought to the discussion was the benefit of hindsight. Twenty years ago renewable-energy represented less than 1 per cent of German power production. Today this production sits at 17 per cent, and the aim is to reach 35 per cent by 2020.
As a result, according to Lehmann, Germany has 370,000 people working in the renewable-energy sector – wind, biomass and solar mostly—compared to virtually nothing in the early 1990s.
