We at MCCO are really glad to see the debate our video has sparked. Given our future is at stake, it makes sense that things might get a little heated but I hope we can find common ground too. We all want good paying jobs, clean air, reduced emissions, affordable and reliable energy. Is the Green Energy Act achieving these things? It's definitely not perfect, but overall, it's heading us in the right direction. What can each party do to improve the GEA and reach our common goals???

@imN0Ttheone You're mistaken - what is wasteful is that every person, every month, in Ontario who pays a hydro bill pays a "debt retirement charge" for the massive nuclear debt that we were left with when Ontario Hydro was sold.Clean energy incentives account for only 0.2 cents of typical 13 c/kWh households pay for electricity. Going backwards away from a renewable energy economy is not the answer of the 21st Century.

@leaningintosky He really is.

Ken O is awesome.

@Rodney, Agreed!

This is really good. We have to switch to renewable energy. And close down the coal power plants in Ontario.

@imN0Ttheone Appreciate your opinions but keep it civil, thanks.

@imN0Ttheone Once you resort to profanity and name-calling, you've lost the argument.

@imN0Ttheone - Again, all your statements prove is one can find an unlimited range of statements on the internet - try googling "UFO's in your backyard" or "Elvis is alive" - and you'll find websites trumpeting all sorts of nonsense. However, if one is concerned about the truth/the facts, then one goes to a credible source. There are fewer of those out there, but the Ontario Environment Commissioner is one of them.

@350orbust Bull shit . Try goggling (The Green Energy Act – The Big Green Lie!) or (Ontario's green energy policy is un-FiT for purpose ) McGuinty has bankrupted the province to the tune of over 225 billion and until we get someone in there to look at the books we really don't know the true cost of the GEA . Thank god we are going to get rid of the GEA and McGuinty this fall but the damage he and his programs have caused we will be paying for , for many decades .

@imN0Ttheone The real culprit in rising hydro rates (which Hudak conveniently omits to mention) is the cost of refurbishing traditional power generation and transmission in Ontario, which had not been upgraded in decades. Hudak would love the spin you're putting on it, though.
