    Ontario residents are being gouged on many fronts, not just electricity, by a corrupt socialist government that blew 14 BILLION on useless wind and solar projects.
    Almost sounds like Ontario is in USA

    Solar is only viable in the US due to government rebates for the average homeowner.

    with the infrastructure thats in place now ,no matter who supplies electrical powerthe must use existing lines and cabels, correct??
    so what is to keep the owners of such lines from raising the rent ???

    with added use will also come more wear and tear on such supply lines ??

    if the Chinese haven't invested money into a new energy supply in Jamaica, why would anybody else?

    Jamaica rates are 7 - 16 Jam$ per Kwh - with lots of fees added on. Very high for the reasons stated in this thread.

    Ontario rates are approx 7 to 13 cents CAN$ per Kwh. With lots of other fees (2 x you usage) added on. ie, the same or more than Jamaican rates.

    Ontario residents are being gouged on many fronts, not just electricity, by a corrupt socialist government that blew 14 BILLION on useless wind and solar projects.

    Wind being the biggest rip off. And then of course there is the billion wasted when they cancelled the gas power plant. Our hydro is slated to increase 33% over the next 5 years.
