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!
