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.

Pourquoi pas les deux?

Because it would cost twice as much? :D

Spending twice as much and getting twice as much isn't the same as something costing more
