Liberals Upset with Green Energy Study


Ontario Energy Minister Brad Duguid is taking issue with a study that suggests green energy may be costing Ontarians more than the province estimates.

Duguid says the University of Guelph study contains technical errors and incorrect assumptions, adding one of its authors is known for opposing renewable power.

The study predicts solar and wind power will increase hydro costs by 65 per cent by 2015 and 141 per cent by 2030.
