Re: What's wrong with "bribes"? (Letters, Jul 9/15) associated with renewable energy projects? The answer is clear. They are contributing to a continuing increase in hydro prices. They are adding to already burdensome energy costs for low-income families and pensioners on fixed incomes. They are discouraging industrial and commercial investment, restricting the growth of the Ontario economy and adversely affecting the creation of new jobs.
That the guaranteed incomes of private wind and solar power corporations are so high that they find it worthwhile to pay "bribes", sorry inducements, to municipalities is yet another indication of the excesses in the provincial government’s pursuit of its "green" objectives, regardless of the cost to the hapless consumer.
