The Doug Ford government’s renewable energy policy revolves with the regularity of a windmill. First, wind and solar were out. Then they were briefly back in. Now they seem to be out again, although not necessarily.

Many will remember that Ford campaigned against the Liberals’ Green Energy Act, the one that saddled Ontario with over-priced wind and solar power. Once elected, he cancelled 750 pending green power projects. The move cost taxpayers $231 million, but the government said it would avoid future costs of $790 million. Unfortunately, the province was stuck with existing projects and will continue to bear their high costs for years.
