It cost less than a nickle per kilowatt when generated conventionality.

And conservation / energy efficiency measures should cost a lot less than $.80/kWh!! Glad I don't live in Ontario................

PS: A line in the brochure says costs for a 3,000 watt, $30,000 system should be recovered in about 12 years.

I cannot afford that Roy, Dalton has made this Green Energy Act the most expensive source of electricity you can get, even when his plan of all 19,000 or whatever the number is of micro-fit systems are in place it will produce less than 1% of our energy needs. I was at the Ottawa home show and one of the dealers was trying to convince me that this was a good idea, I went through the costs and what it will do to hydro bills for Ontarians and how it is not in ant way sustainable, he agreed with me and called me a "man of principle" because I won't do that to my neighbours. I ask one thing...how long can you buy something for .80 cents and sell it for less than 10 cents and stay in business?

Many residents in our county have installed the large solar panels after being assured they would be on the energy gravy train. One family spent more than $ 100,000 putting them on three of their farm properties, based on promises from our provincial government and after being assured by the Ontario Power Authority (OPA) that they would be receive a wonderful return on their investment.
A few months ago, most people in our area, including this family, were notified by the OPA that unfortunately the power grid was not able to accept their power now and perhaps never would be.
There are now a number of legal actions started.
Their first mistake was believing anything that our wonderful Premier Pinocchio said.

Buyer beware !!!!

How about the subways in Toronto you and I have been paying for them since 1955 and they have not once paid there own way .
And we will be building more .

Many things are not the best .
But are needed and bought .
How about the war in Libya that is costing us a huge amount of money only 6 of 53 of the NATO are paying any thing.
How about education ,food ,transportation ,building and more for our Northern territories ,should we stop paying for them too.

I except these expenses it is part of being a good Canadian .

We help pay for subways and transit to help keep our roads less crowded, I don't completely agree with this but it does help us as drivers. The government (me and you and others) paying 8 x the selling price of something just does make economic sense, either hydro rates or taxes have to go up to cover this, and less money in taxpayer's pockets means less spending in our economy, less spending in our economy means less jobs, less jobs means less government revenue and that equals higher taxes and the circle goes on and on. At .80 cent per kwh and I use roughly 1,000 kw per month equals $800 and don't forget the debt retirement, delivery etc. plus HST it would likely be close to $2000 per month for electricity cost.

It is said by the right all the time to frighten the public.........no one has proven that to me!!

The money collected by taxes does not disappear into a black hole nor is it taken out of the money supply. It runs through the economy by different routes and is spent differently than the individual would spend it on trinkets, etc. Governments pay teachers, fire fighters, police, military, other workers, etc,(these workers live next door to us and not in foreign lands).........they build roads, schools, water/waste systems, hospitals, seniors care homes, airports, etc... These things are all part of our economy!!

We do have to ensure that taxes are used wisely and not like the $50 million that was capriciously spent by Conservatives (without records or formerly "necessary" reviews, it appears) for the G20 meetings in cabinet minister Tony Clement's riding. Where is the transparency needed to stop this crap???

Brian, my math tell me that if a guy is making $50,000 a year, pays say $15,000 in taxes and the following year same income but $20,000 in taxes he has $5,000 less to put into the economy.
