We should not cancel Cap and Trade! We need to reinstate Cap and Trade and become even more stringent. Climate change is a real problem that will affect humanity severely. Cap and Trade and other green policies help us move forward by incentivising progressive action. Help the planet, ourselves, and our children, Keep Cap and Trade!

Keeping Cap and Trade and the EVIP could actually make driving more affordable. Electric vehicles are not just for the rich.

Consider a Nissan Leaf costing $36,400 - $14,000 (if EVIP) = $22,400 k , a very reasonable price for a car. Charging this car vs. buying gas for a comparable gas car would save $1,500 per year. If you have the car for 10 years that a savings of $15,000! This car also has the benefit of much less service, no oil changes, very quite, does not contribute to smog and health problems related to bad air quality.

The other benefit of EVs is we can actually use the green power Ontario produces ourselves instead of exporting it at a loss.
