Ontario's environmental commissioner says if the province is serious about energy conservation it should focus on ways to cut down the consumption of gasoline and other transport fuels.
Environmental Commissioner Gord Miller says the government's``ad-hoc'' plan is too focused on electricity conservation and doesn't address ways to conserve other forms of energy.
Yet transportation fuel costs and consumption are rising to unsustainable levels, and the government should be investing in transit and consider moving toward rail delivery instead of transport trucks where reasonable.
Miller says he's disappointed with a recent delay in transit expansion in Toronto, saying it sends the wrong signal on energy conservation.
