How to make money from the hydro company

Not a great deal of intelligence yet at hydro, when a few years ago Mr. Strong wanted to use Hydro Money to buy Brazilian Forests for Ecology Sake

free trade??? not much of importance can we buy off shore, we can't buy prescription drugs at a pittance of their canadian costsfrom other countries who's protecting the drug manufacturers???, and Why???

most new innovations are presented as of great benefit to the consumer, and after all the media frenzy, joe blow finds it is going to cost him more.

I like it

DID ANYONE SEE WHAT THEY DID ABOUT 10 YRS AGO IN HOLLAND . A COUNTRY KNOWN FOR MAYBE 1000 YRS OF THEIR WINDMILLS THEY STARTED TAXING THEM ...SO THEIR TAXING THEM FOR THE WIND!!! CANADA WILL DO THAT TOO BELIEVE ME, THEY WANT ALL YOUR MONEY . BE A GOOD CANADIAN WORK TIL 65 AND DROP DEAD THE DAY YOU RETIRE.

it's all hoops of bullshit. do one thing out of place and your screwed. you'll never pay off the cost. 100,000 can buy the hydro you need for the rest of your life.

propose that we give people the choice, those that support green energy can sign up and pay 80 cents per kwh,others can remain paying 6 to 8 cents. The supporters would see a 1000 per cent increase in their bills. This seems more than fair and will allow those who support these initiatives to put their money where there mouth is

We have a similiar program in Saskatchewan, and i read an academic piece from a UofS grad student that did a feasibility study using the power needs of a 2.5 child nuclear family in a standard 1200 sq/ft bungalow... 14,000 when all is said and done with an averaged usage of about 70% of power used monthed and the rest stored in private fuel cells that are included in the 14,000 price tag. Utilities pay out quarterly cheques and outgoing meter is utility responsibilty. Sounds reasonable. Also, depending on demographic, the owner can expect a higher resale/ incentive to buy factor on the housing market. Demographic considerations relate directing to age... older people are reluctant to change!

First, Ontario Hydro must be cleaned up of all the very highly paid executives and like, or better still make it a public co-op and have members of public run the damn thing with the same common sense they run their own family affairs. Then they may see what is the best model for the public, Nuclear, Hydro, Coal or so called Green - Windmills, Solar, Wave, Geo-Thermo etc.

I wouldn't live under power lines (proven cancerous) what's up with this??

Terrorists.

Green Green they say for the guy that pays the bill, Hey Hey I say, I'm the guy that pushes the plow. Now Now Parliment Hill says we'll all get a part of this thrill. No No the wise man says, it looks good to all, but really no good at all.

I anot very savvy about this new tech...I wonder: Are these solar panels easy to steal or disassemble? "They" even steal your electrical wires these days...Thanks for your reply!

A fellow in Scarborough is doing this,and Ontario Hydro has him in court.He is in court because they claim what he is doing is illegal.It is illegal because he did not purchased the equipment from OPG.He followed the guide lines and the recommended products.But bought direct from US at 20% the cost.Thats right same parts but not purchased from OPG makes it a crime.

I am surprised that voters do not know what Dalton has been doing with our tax dollars. We pay green energy more than 8 times what we collect. We then produce too much energy and are forced to PAY the US to take our excess. This plan costs us $217,000 per resident in Ontario. We are on our way to going bankrupt as a province. The wealthiest Countries, Provinces etc have the best environmental programs. This is because they have the wealth before they develop the costly programs. It is not a coincidence that India, China etc have the worst levels of pollution. Voters need to boot Dalton out before its too late. It may be already, but lets hope we can recover from his reckless policy.

Too bad office buildings & apartment buildings couldn't incorporate solar panels into their roof construction. What a great way to offset the cost of electricity! And save money (in the long term) as well.

I hate video's why not at least write something in print ,so lame! NOT WATCHING!

It doesn't matter what spin is put on the Ontario Green Energy plan.the facts are eventually Ontario tax payers will pay much much much more for that solar and wind energy produced.
I have installed some and the initial installation costs are prohibitive over 50-60 thousand dollars plus and a considerable years for payback like over 10. Then there is the maintenance that people rarely discuss that really cuts the efficiency of energy output thus increasing the length of time to pay off the installation. Mr. McGintys plan to have only certain people involved has created a non competitive goldmine for a few suppliers thus costing Ontario residents 100's of millions more and sky high equipment costs. Anyone hear about the 407. Same deal some private offshore investors profit at Ontario consumers expense

Unfortunately. our government is not supporting CANADIAN companies. take a look at who they are backing and paving the way..companies like sanyo etc. Canadian companies are getting squished out by our own government , I think people should try to go with our Canadian companies first!

Interestingly, I keep posting a piece of a "Financial Post" article that talks about how Dalton's green energy is costing us 81 cents/kWh and it continues to get removed.
