I was just flying over Europe. You see solar and wind farms everywhere there. The whole world is including renewable energy in their energy systems. I am not an economist, but for me two things are most important: SOLAR energy uses FREE energy source and it is CLEAN! It is SAFE - where do you store nuclear waists from nuclear power plants? How often do you refurbish nuclear generators? Nuclear accidents happen no matter how careful we are.
I could not believe that minister of energy canceled renewal energy projects last September - he gave explanation that Ontario has enough energy.... then I read that Ontario will be buying energy from Quebec! Where is logic to this? Solar power farms were suppose to create jobs in addition to all positive aspects that I mentioned above.
I am sure that bidding companies prepared themselves well for the upcoming bidding in September. Then all of a sudden months of their work and tones of money were waisted.
Our hydro bills are higher and higher - I strongly believe that in the long run solar and wind will be LESS expensive. We have to invest in modern technologies for the better future - not stepping back!
SO PLEASE RECONSIDER and add solar and wind as energy source for our province!
