Excerpts from the article:

In his December, 2011 review of the Liberals' renewable energy program, then auditor general Jim McCarter noted that in 2009, they assured the public their initiatives would add a modest 1% annually to their electricity bills. (another LIE)

But just a year later, they predicted "a typical residential electricity bill would rise about 7.9% annually over the next five years, with 56% of the increase due to investments in renewable energy." Also in 2010, the Ontario Energy Board, predicted "a typical household's annual electricity bill will increase by about $570, or 46%, from about $1,250 in 2009 to more than $1,820 by 2014. More than half of this increase would be because of renewable energy contracts." These are exactly the kinds of steep increases that have spread fuel poverty in Europe.

Time for a CHANGE?

电价高确实对制造业是个很大负担。
我在的公司是high tech，不算用电大户，每月电费几十万刀，很吓人。
