In the last paragraph the author states: "Canada's economy can serve that future. The energy transition could become an engine of prosperity depending on what actions we take today." The McGuinty/Wynne Liberal government bought into this sales pitch in 2009 when it passed the Green Energy Act.  Now, eight years later, the results are clear. The policy has been  an economic disaster. By dramatically over paying for electricity from wind and solar farms (up to 8 times market rates), the Liberal government has given Ontario some of the highest electricity rates in North America and created widespread energy poverty. And there has been no "engine of prosperity" in the province, only the sound of gas and diesel motors as businesses close and move out of Ontario.
