Premier Dalton McGuinty isn't budgeting.
McGuinty says he's not going to stop the potential shutdown of the coal-fired generating station in Thunder Bay for what experts say could be energy savings of $400 million.
Speaking in Thunder Bay, the outgoing premier says it's all about meeting the energy needs of the north.
McGuinty says it would be reckless to proceed without looking at the advice.

But Horwath won't say whether she would keep the plant open if she were premier
Horwath says it's clear the issue has become a political football.
