Ontario Hydro Users are looking at a doubling and tripling of their monthly hydro bills and have only Dolton McGuinty and his Green Energy Advisors to blame.
Daily calls come into local talk radio attesting to the fact that some Hydro Subscribers are wearing winter clothing inside and burning candles in a desperate bid to keep warm and to keep some lights on.
All the while a select few are receiving 10 x their energy costs back in rebates for providing wind and solar power.
And now we learn that cheap electric power has been available all along to Ontario from neighbouring Quebec and Manitoba. Six (6) cents per kilowatt hour and with no need to upgrade the current grid.
McGuinty's mistakes are too numerous to list but this one tops them all. Tens of billions of dollars have been and will continue to be wasted with his poorly thought out Energy Programme.
The sooner he and his Spendthrift Government is gone - the better.
That said, I look forward to hear what the Provincial Tory and NDP leaders have to say on this important subject.
Ontario Hydro has been mismanaged for the past 30 years and more. Senior Management is grossly overpaid and Union Contracts are out of control.
Privatization is the answer and cheaper sources of clean energy the goal.
As I see it....
