Federal government revives discontinued program for eight months

Do energy rebates help the environment or fund home makeovers that would have happened anyway?

How many of the NDP leader’s demands does the federal budget have to meet to ensure its passage?

The biggest story you probably didn’t pay much attention to this week was Ontario’s plan to let homeowners, farmers, companies—anybody really—sell renewable energy onto the provincial power grid. This development makes me wonder why the federal government isn’t getting behind the international push to carve out a much bigger place for renewables in the energy marketplace.
