No question the Liberal governments have messed up the electricity file. As did the Conservatives and NDP before them (a reminder about the debt repayment fee on your electricity bill and deregulation and privatization debacles). No party has their hands clean.

We have tried deregulation, alternative energy, and have canceled new power plants for political reasons.

I don't know if artificially lowering costs now and pushing them out 20 years makes sense or not. If the author has alternatives let's hear it! Complaining about it does not solve the problem.

Ontarians deserve better. We need a calm steady hand to plan and manage this vital commodity. Perhaps we should start there. Hire the best people. Incent them based on outcome and measure how well they do. And, by all means, keep politics out of it!
