Imagine how much wind and solar and new Hydro you could install across the province for the 3-4 billion in refurb costs?

There's so much that could be done with that money...

  • Tuition reimbursement for students in trades that benefit the green power industry.
  • Research and development for power storage - 'second life batteries', etc.
  • Rebates and incentives to have homes install solar / wind / battery.
  • Modernization / optimization projects like switching to heat pumps, variable speed pumps, etc.
  • Efficiency projects like offsetting the costs of improving insulation in existing homes - with new windows/doors/etc.
